Friday Knowledge - How can images and texts be inclusive/exclusive?

In today's globalised society, companies face the challenge of designing communications that both reflect the internal diversity of their workforce and appeal to and engage a diverse customer base. 

This requires a deeper understanding of how factors such as gender, age and cultural background affect both representation and perception in a company's external and internal communication channels.

  • What concrete steps can companies take to develop a more inclusive communication strategy?
  • What are the long-term effects of diverse representation on brand image and customer loyalty?
  • What innovative solutions and best practices can we share and learn from each other to overcome these obstacles?

The Friday Knowledge session highlighted results in reports and member examples.
