Inclusive and non-sexist digital communication for companies

For companies, it is imperative to have a digital external communication strategy with a gender perspective, in order to position the brand, strengthen the identity of the company and thus create a sustainable relationship with clients. It is essential to always incorporate this approach when developing content and participating in digital spaces since it generates:

  • An identity and image of the organization that reflects inclusion, attracting more customers.
  • More precise, high-quality products and services that meet customer needs, which are not based on gender roles and stereotypes: when you have a team that reflects this diversity of customers, a more personal approach is achieved creating greater satisfaction by this.
  • Diversity of the company: through the use of non-sexist and inclusive messages in job offers, a culture of inclusion is reflected.
