For over 70 years, Cityz Media and the City of Paris have cultivated a solid relationship of trust, reinforced in 2019 by the award of the Street Furniture contract.

Today, this partnership is extended with the renewal of the contract for a further two years, until March 2027, attesting to Cityz Media’s constant commitment and proven efficiency in the operation, maintenance and cleaning of the 1,630 MUIs spread throughout Paris, supported by a dedicated team of nearly 60 people.  

This renewal testifies to Cityz Media’s ability to anticipate and meet challenges, from health and social crises to major high-impact events such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This expertise guarantees the City of Paris seamless continuity of service and impeccable quality in the management of its street furniture, thanks to the efficiency and daily dedication of Cityz Media’s teams.

Social media shapes our vision of the world and has taken over our minds. Internal communication must evolve to become more impactful. “Experiential events,” which embody strategy and values, generate a far greater impact than social media. They engage people physically and emotionally, creating lasting connections, while harnessing collective emotion to truly capture attention.

Engaging teams may seem like an obvious solution, but in 2025, it is essential. This approach sets us apart from traditional digital tools, video speeches, social networks, and internal messaging—all of which are often drowned out by the thousands of daily messages circulating on these platforms.

The true value of a company lies in the human chain that holds it together. The challenge for 2025 is to MOTIVATE your teams by creating internal “positive counter-influence” campaigns rooted in experiential events.

Inclusivity and accessibility have become central themes in communication today—not only as ethical imperatives but also as strategic levers for organizations and professionals in design, content creation, and development. Communication wields significant influence in shaping perceptions, reference models, and access to information. Thus, those working in the sector bear the responsibility of fostering new narratives that dismantle stereotypes and broaden shared cultural imaginaries.

This white paper delves into the importance of adopting approaches and strategies that embrace diversity and ensure equitable access to information, which is essential in an increasingly interconnected society.

Introduction

In the digital age, people’s expectations of communication have undergone a radical transformation. Communication now means more than disseminating messages—it’s about creating authentic, inclusive, and accessible experiences that generate real and lasting impact.

But what do we mean by “Inclusivity” and “Accessibility”?
The two terms represent distinct yet deeply complementary aspects:

• Inclusivity involves authentically and respectfully representing diverse experiences and identities. It reflects the recognition of individuality and others’ choices.
• Accessibility, in the realm of design and technology, entails creating content, services, and platforms that are easy to use for everyone, regardless of abilities or the technologies they employ. This is governed by regulations outlining indicators and standards to be met.

The Challenge of Representation: Toward a Pluralistic Imaginary

The Current State
According to a 2023 report by CreativeX, only 4% of individuals featured in over 126,000 global advertisements were aged 60 or older. This reveals how older demographics are nearly absent from mainstream cultural narratives, and when represented, they are often portrayed in stereotypical or negative ways. This bias extends to younger generations with foreign backgrounds, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities. Non-inclusive representations restrict the audience’s worldview, confining it to standardized and conventional models.

Implications
The challenge is to craft new narratives that honor human diversity, celebrate a plurality of experiences, and adopt inclusive models that allow everyone to see themselves reflected in communication.

The Power of Language: Inclusion Begins with Words

Linguistic Biases
A “Language Bias in Performance Feedback 2024” report highlights that women are seven times more likely than men to internalize negative stereotypes. This bias is evident in language, which historically defaults to male-centered norms. For example, the generic masculine is still widely used, and adopting gender-specific professional titles remains challenging.

Language Evolves with Us
Choosing words thoughtfully is a crucial step in combating discrimination and promoting respectful communication. The potential for meaningful change is both tangible and necessary. Using language more consciously broadens shared cultural horizons, ensuring that everyone feels “seen” and welcomed.

Designing Accessible and Inclusive Experiences

The Current Context
Approximately 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability—whether temporary or permanent (Beyond Accessibility Compliance, Sukriti Chadha). Despite advancements, millions face barriers when interacting with products or services, especially online. Digital barriers severely restrict access to social and professional opportunities, making accessibility an urgent priority.

Strategic Solutions
Creating accessibility involves implementing universal design practices and solutions that are usable regardless of hardware, software, language, or abilities. Tools such as readability testing, multilingual translation, alt-text for images, and responsive design are essential.

Accessible Design
To ensure content is accessible, specific design elements should be integrated early in the process, including:

• High-contrast color schemes to enhance readability.
• Alternative text for images, enabling visually impaired individuals to access information.
• Subtitles and transcripts for audio and video content to assist those with hearing impairments.
• Simplified and structured text layouts, which improve comprehension for individuals with cognitive or learning disabilities.

Conclusions

The Impact on Brands
Creating accessible experiences not only enables everyone to participate fully in social, cultural, and professional life but also broadens potential audience reach. Incorporating accessible practices and inclusive language presents an opportunity to extend the reach of your content and strengthen your brand. This is not a fleeting trend—it’s a foundational element of modern and responsible communication.

At Usbek & Rica, we see this reflex in organisations every day: as polycrisis escalates, they adopt emergency communications to convince everyone that they are moving faster than anyone else. Let’s be honest, it doesn’t work. Worse, it adds noise to the noise. Too many years of greenwashing have gone by: audiences have become intransigent, even insensitive.

At Usbek & Rica, our work with companies and institutions involves exploring the future to gather audiences around stories that embrace contradiction and dare to be enthusiastic.

Our current obsession? To enable every organisation, and even every employee, to behave like a “good ancestor” from now on, and thus leave a positive mark on future generations.

The boom in AI services since 2023 is unsettling contractors and translation specialists alike.
Who or what to believe? How do we distinguish between the conflicting demands being made on us?
We approach things as language specialists and help our clients to see things clearly: apart from the specific characteristics of each language, what are the purposes of the content to be translated? How long will it be used for?
Are there any style guides or glossaries that must be followed?
Is there a high volume of content to be translated in a very short space of time? Are there regulatory constraints?
The list goes on. Only an accurate assessment will enable you to opt for the ‘enhanced’ process with the best cost/quality/time ratio. 
Compromises have to be made. You have to remain open-minded and draw up a series of tests so that you can come to a conclusion and move forward with complete peace of mind.
In any case, this is what we believe at TradOnline.

The rapid evolution of social networks and the dazzling progress of artificial intelligence tools are no longer lost on anyone.
However, one element remains constant: human emotions.

Brands must succeed in enriching their rational stakes with emotional objectives to engage more fully with their audiences. The key is to develop an approach that combines strategy, creativity and technology, to create campaigns that truly resonate with audiences, while respecting the authenticity and values of each brand.

At 87seconds, we’re convinced that beyond creativity, it’s our ability to create deep connections and generate emotions that will define the success of a campaign in this new, emotional era of communication.
