How to Make Your Communications Accessible with Louise Gibson

In this episode of PR in the Real World, Louise Gibson - Social Media, Design, Advertising & Sponsorship Team Manager at Sheffield City Council - explains how to build accessibility and inclusion into everyday communications so more people can access, understand and act without adding cost or complexity.

 

This conversation is about practical inclusion and performance. Louise shares why accessible comms consistently works harder and why using corporate channels as we did, even a couple of years ago, won’t deliver the same results today. She brings a lived perspective as a deaf communicator who grew up in a deaf household, and she shows how small changes - especially on social media - translate into real-world impact.

 

Her mantra is ‘progress, not perfection’: choose one change, embed it as a habit over nine to ten weeks and then layer in the next. It’s a sustainable way to remove barriers without overwhelming busy teams.
