RNIB: On Making Accessible Creative Content an Achievable Ambition | Helen Dutson & Holly Tuke

If you saw Jeremy Allen White's Calvin Klein ad, count yourself lucky. It was shared without ALT text, so blind and partially sighted people couldn't join the fun. That was until RNIB schooled us all. Behind every sassy, creative, and inventive post from the Royal National Institute of Blind People is an important message: People with sight loss exist. Social media content manager and previous copywriter for Specsavers' agency, Helen Dutson, and RNIB's social media officer Holly Tuke, who's registered blind are on a mission to show social media that accessible content is achievable, necessary, and rich ground for creativity. In this episode we got a lesson in what scrolling through social is like for someone with sight loss, how to make truly accessible content, who's doing it well, and how platforms can improve their features.
