The Guide is available for anyone in the marketing community to <a href=\"https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/resource\/diversity-representation\/\">download<\/a> from the ACA site. <\/p>\n<p>The Guide takes readers through twelve key stages in the creative process, from creative briefing to strategic insights and localization to media placement.<\/p>\n<p>For each one of the twelve stages the Guide identifies where bias can occur and proposes questions that can be used as a litmus test at every stage. It also includes best-in-class examples of campaigns from around the globe meant to inspire. <\/p>\n<p>Some marketers might find it a formidable task to tackle all twelve stages at once. Nonetheless, picking a couple of areas to focus on now and building out from there will allow marketers to work through all twelve stages.
