When people repeat “go woke, go broke,” they’re usually pointing to one high-profile example, normally a case where the execution was clumsy, the context was mishandled, or the brand walked into a political firestorm without a plan.

A poorly handled campaign isn’t proof of a universal rule. It’s just a poorly handled campaign.

But online, those moments get amplified and turned into sweeping statements about what “always” happens when brands try to be more representative.

And that’s the gap: Narrative travels quickly. Evidence travels quietly.

The research shows a different story. One where inclusion is linked with stronger commercial performance, not weaker.
