Diversity
As one of the most talked about topics right now, it’s no surprise that diversity has emerged as a trend. We’re seeing an uplift in the number of brands, marketers and advertisers using a more diverse range of models and images. We’re progressing as a society and are taking more positive steps every year. 2016 was branded the ‘’, while 2017 saw huge pushes from leading authorities to abolish gender stereotyping in advertising. And now as we head into 2018, the focus has turned to achieving full inclusion of all minority groups.
From the education sector to the creative world, expectations are changing and people are looking for representation of a range of ethnicity, ages, gender, sexuality, religion and abilities in the images they see.
