Overview
Developing a robust and dynamic approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) is rapidly becoming a top priority for professional marketers. In this fast-changing landscape, more and more brands are realising that they will only build trust and flourish by demonstrating a genuine commitment to ensuring that all their stakeholders feel valued, included and welcome. And while the opportunities to increase customer connection are clear, marketers can also feel threatened by the scope and the complexities of ED&I and are worried about making mistakes that damage brand or reputation, especially in the social media ‘bear pit’. This course provides a strategic framework to ensure that you make the most of the new opportunities, while also avoiding the pitfalls of getting it wrong.

Marketers who want to further promote and protect their brands by developing a sound ED&I strategy.
