The checklist covers diverse representation in visuals and narratives, inclusive language use, cultural sensitivity checks, accessibility of digital and print materials, internal team diversity, and inclusive market research practices.

It's recommended to conduct a comprehensive audit bi-annually, with ongoing reviews for each major campaign or content piece before launch.

The audit should involve diversity and inclusion specialists, marketing strategists, creative directors, accessibility experts, and representatives from diverse employee resource groups to ensure a comprehensive perspective.

By evaluating all aspects of marketing through an inclusive lens, the checklist helps identify areas for improvement in representation, messaging, and accessibility, leading to more authentic connections with diverse consumer groups.

Diversity style guides, accessibility testing tools, cultural consultation services, inclusive stock image libraries, and unconscious bias training programs can provide valuable support to the audit process.
