Bias in marketing, it happens How do we mitigate it?
BIAS IN MARKETING Jen Wilburn, LMHC, CICAccessibility Consultant, Florida Blue • How to effectively use authentic disability-friendly images and language in advertising that will appeal to potential customers with and without disabilities. • Creative images of people with disabilities and positive language that shatter common biases. • Strategies for testing images and content perspectives by leveraging community partners and your ERG.
Authentic Disability-friendly Language/Images in Advertising • What is it and how do we find it? • The voice and experience of the person with a disability • The correct terminology; transcends stereotypes • Represents the whole person • What it’s not? • The unintentional reflection of social and personal biases (i.e. objects of pity, burdens, lazy, self-inflicted, unable, childlike, special, inspirational) • Often seen in caregiving, drug and rehabilitation, mental health, youth programs, health and wellness
Leveraging Community Partners & PWD ERG for Feedback • Does your social media elevate, normalize and support PWDs (including shared articles by other sources)? • What do your community partners want to see/what messages are important to them? • What do you want to reinforce about the position your company takes and feels about PWDs? • Are you being mindful of the full spectrum of disabilities (physical, physiological, and psychological)? • Check the temperature of your advocacy efforts with employees or members with medical conditions.
