Decision-making that includes diverse perspectives, strengthening outcomes and relevance.
How Inclusive Marketing Shows Up in Practice
-
A financial services brand ready to launch an accessibility-focused product, but due to the launch timing, they used stock photography. Instead, Strategic Inclusive Marketing hires photographers from the same communities they want to reach, ensuring that stock imagery doesn’t default to generic “diverse group” shots.
-
A travel company replaces outdated copy like “discover untouched lands” with language that honours Indigenous stewardship: “Explore the land through the stories of the people who have cared for it for generations.”
-
A food brand’s new website launches with alt text for all images, high-contrast colour palettes, captions on videos, and screen reader compatibility from day one — not as a post-launch fix after complaints come in.
-
A beverage brand expanding into Toronto’s Caribbean community consults local cultural advisors before launching. They adjust colour schemes, music, and product names to reflect positive, accurate cultural associations - avoiding misused slang or imagery that could alienate the audience.
-
A tech company creates a rotating community review panel of employees, customers, and advocacy group members from different racial, disability, and 2SLGBTQIA+ backgrounds to review campaign concepts before they’re finalised, ensuring multiple lenses are applied to creative decisions.
