Ethical & Sustainable Marketing Accelerator

You care about this stuff. That’s not the problem. The problem is that caring comes with a minefield attached: say too little and you’re complicit, say it wrong and you’re performative, and somewhere between the acronyms, the accessibility guidelines and the carbon jargon, most marketers quietly file “responsible marketing” under someday. Meanwhile the campaigns keep shipping.

This accelerator turns the caring into competence. Across three modules with Fab and guest experts, you’ll get working frameworks for the three areas that matter most: EDI (inclusive communication, cultural networking, the PAUSE framework), accessibility (from neurodiversity to digital design, with checklists you’ll use on this week’s content), and sustainability (key terms, carbon footprint basics, and how to green-speak with confidence instead of greenwashing by accident). It ends with your Impact Pledge: a public-ready commitment built on what you can actually do, not performative fluff.

EDI in Marketing

Inclusive communication from the ground up: practical steps to implement EDI, ethical and inclusive copywriting, cultural networking plans, designing inclusive spaces, and the PAUSE Framework, with worksheets and a toolkit throughout.

The biggest module, because it’s the most actionable. Long-term accessibility strategy, an accessibility glossary, neurodiversity in campaigns, and accessible practices across content, digital design and messaging, plus the Four Pillars worksheet, content checklist, and a bonus Accessible Marketing Toolkit.

Sustainability without the spin. Key terms, why it’s not business as usual, implementing sustainable practices, carbon footprint 101 and tracking, and how to communicate it all with confidence.

Learning Outcomes

  • Build inclusive campaigns and communication using the PAUSE framework and EDI toolkit
  • Make your content accessible by default: alt text, readability, digital design, messaging
  • Design for neurodiversity and understand how people actually navigate your content
  • Talk about sustainability accurately, with the key terms and carbon basics under your belt
  • Spot the line between green speak and greenwash, and stay on the right side of it
  • Apply all of it to the campaigns already on your plate, then commit to it publicly with your Impact Pledge

The course is perfect for...

  • The in-house marketer. EDI, accessibility and sustainability keep landing on your desk, and you’d like frameworks instead of vibes.
  • The consultant or freelancer. Clients are asking about responsible marketing; this makes it a service you can confidently offer (and charge for).
  • The values-led marketer. You’ve been doing this by instinct and want the structure, language and receipts to match.
  • The career builder. A CPD credential in the part of marketing that’s only getting bigger.
