4 Key Learnings from the “Pioneering Accessible Advertising” panel
Progress Over Perfection: Perfectionism can be an enemy of achieving goals. A mindset focused on continuous improvement is the key to success. Protect the importance of taking one step at a time, whether it’s adapting creative processes or refining research methods. Incremental changes collectively drive significant progress towards greater inclusivity.
Challenge the Status Quo: Feel free to remain “healthily dissatisfied” with the current state of inclusivity in advertising. Regularly challenging existing practices and asking tough questions ensures that the drive for accessibility remains a dynamic and evolving effort.
ROI, Return on Inclusion: Embracing accessibility should not only be seen as the right thing to do from a human perspective but also as a strategic advantage. Inclusive advertising leads to enhanced creativity, better audience engagement, and greater overall success.
Framing Inclusion as an Opportunity: Presenting it as a way to make work more creative, appealing, and disruptive in a positive manner rather than merely a compliance exercise helps shift the perception. This approach can motivate teams to embrace inclusivity enthusiastically and see it as a driver of innovation and success.
