    130. How to plan more inclusive business events with Eman Ismail
    Sep 26 2024
    When it comes to business events, particularly those where important and transformational relationships are formed, it's very common for them to not be inclusive -- particularly for people who, for whatever reason, don't engage in specific activities that are considered "norms" in these types of settings. A big part of inclusive marketing is challenging what is often considered to be "normal" in your quest to make more of the people you want to serve feel like they belong with you. In this episode, I sat down with Eman Ismail, an email marketing strategist and copywriter, and founder of Eman Copy Co, an email marketing microagency. We had a really insightful chat about her experiences feeling excluded by the norms at many events, and how it made her feel, as well as how it impacted her success. We also walk through practical examples for brands for how to create more inclusive events that enable more people to achieve success and feel like they belong with you.
