Diverse & Inclusive Content Marketing

Strategies to aid your marketing

Diversifying your marketing acknowledges that you understand your audience and you want them to feel included. Don’t assume that including one minority checks the diversity box. Be thoughtful and do your research.

But honestly, who cares? Actually, most people do. A study showed that over 60% of those who were surveyed were likely to buy from a company that focused on diversity, even when their specific demographic was not included.

Diversity is the ‘what’. Inclusion is the ‘how’. Diversity means that you’ve recognized the need for representation. Inclusion means you’re mindful of and employ efforts to help those people thrive.

How tho? Research. Diversify your own team. Edit your style guide to address topics based on diverse experiences. Optimize access and nav on your site to fit diverse needs.
