Digital Marketing: the age of diversity?

Inclusive marketing has come a long way over the past few years. This is because for the consumers of today, creating a stellar product or providing a first-class service is not enough to convince them to buy from you.

Customers care about the ethics behind your brand more than ever before and will make purchase decisions based on factors like diversity and sustainability.

Billions of people every day use the internet to buy clothes, book holidays, play games, watch videos or search for random trivia.

For a lot of people around the world, navigating the world wide web can be done with a simple touch of a button. However, a huge proportion of the population can find this navigation process a lot more challenging.

The vast majority of websites today are “inaccessible”, which prevents the world’s one billion disabled people – 15% of the global population – from enjoying an easy online experience. So how can we change this?
