Benefits of Inclusive Content Creation and Marketing
Inclusive content creation and marketing attracts a wider range of people to your brand. Quite simply, for a business to grow effectively, it must engage increasingly wider communities to its brand, both employees and customers. Some things to consider might be:
Where does your target audience hang out online?
Are you using the appropriate language to attract these communities?

Article Writing and Blogs
Article and blog posts are an effective way of helping your website ( and thus business) to gain traction within the crowded space of search engines. They also promote your business within diverse groups and spaces.
In order to showcase your business inclusively, you must firstly have two things:
1. A diverse range of talent
2. Something to shout about!
Let’s take these 2 in turn.
Firstly, there is absolutely no value in claiming inclusivity, if your business is not! Your audience will see this for what it is and turn away. There are a wide range of services to bolster and embed diversity and inclusion across your business.
Secondly, activities that your business is involved in, that support diversity and inclusion, are things that your business can truthfully showcase as you build a more diverse and inclusive business.
Your content must be expertly created and original. Once your content is on the internet, its out there. Due to the algorithms behind search engines, your content can come up in the search within seconds of being published. This is why it is important to get it right first time.
Where possible, ensure that you use the services of experts who know what they are doing and have knowledge of diversity and inclusion.
They will be able to understand your Corporate messaging needs and craft compelling content.
The importance of regularly promoting your brand to a wide range of customers and potential talent cannot be understated. This, in the end, is what will make your brand stand out above the competition.
Blogging and articles, written with diversity and inclusion in mind, will always attract a wider audience, than those written with a narrow outlook.
Think about it.... that's what just the big, successful brands do. They curate diverse content, and blog about the inclusive nature of their business.
This helps to ensure that they attract best in class talent and showcase their goods and services with global reach.
Video and Podcast Interviews
Having a diverse range of content on your website or intranet, helps to engage both internal and external stakeholders.
Think about a message from the Managing Director, a podcast interview related to diversity and inclusion or a video speaking about, or showing inclusion initiatives taking place within your business.
It all helps to craft your inclusive image and connect you with a wider range of opportunities.
Furthermore, having a professional video or podcast created, helps you to convey your message, in a more personal way.
This is important for developing relationships, that are built on inclusion from the outset. It helps you better connect with individuals and groups and helps to foster well managed, inclusive relationships.
In addition to this, and perhaps more importantly, it helps to show authenticity and supports a business image that values diversity and inclusion.
