Disability and Digital Marketing

Routledge Studies in Marketing


This book aims to illustrate a wide set of digital marketing practices and how they contribute to the promotion of disability inclusion in consumer culture. 

Our hope is that this edited book will forward a number of topical issues related to disability in digital marketing including the representation of people with disabilities and the intersection of bodies and technology. Disability in digital marketing is thus explored from the perspective of brands and consumers, across cultures, intersectional categories, and society at large. 

We envision this book to provide insights to scholars and practitioners in the fields of marketing, advertising, communication, journalism, PR, sociology, and public policy, and show that disability is far from a homogenous category. The book will engage in a wide range of discussions related to disability in digital marketing. 

In short, the book will raise the question: Can digital marketing promote social inclusion and improve the lives of people with disabilities through consciousness-raising activities and increased connectivity?
