Accessibility in Marketing: the Opportunities and 3 Key Challenges

Whatever the size of your organisation, marketing is key.

How you communicate with existing and potential customers could be the difference between winning or losing them, and accessibility is key to that.
In this webinar, we discuss essential topics for 2025:

  1. What you can win – Increasing Reach. How much will inclusion of people with disabilities and older people in marketing increase the reach of your messaging?
  2. How can AI help? Will AI get you accessibility in marcomms materials for free?
  3. Making this the way you work. How do you get accessibility embedded into your marketing processes?
  4. Marketing to people with disabilities – what the EAA requires. Communicating about the accessibility of your services could bring more people to them, and is required by the EAA.
  5. Marketing to people with disabilities – authenticity. How do you go beyond nodding at disability and tell stories about disability and accessibility authentically?

Need help planning for the European Accessibility Act?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) deadline – June 28th 2025 – is now here. And many organisations are just waking up to the idea they’ll have to do something or risk fines in each of the 27 EU Member States they provide products or services in for consumers.

Our bespoke EAA Strategy and Planning Workshops brief your product, technical and legal teams on how the EAA will impact your organisation, based on the services and products you provide to consumers in the countries you operate in. We explore the legislation in each country which will be important to you, what you’ll need to do to comply with that legislation, what risks you may have if you don’t, and help you plan your best response.
