A big congratulations to Jockey for its powerful ad "Show 'Em What's Underneath. Show 'Em Your Jockey: Chris Van Etten" winner of the ANA Marketers Multicultural Awards, in the People with Disabilities category!
Since its inauguration, the winners of this award have been thoughtful and impactful advertisements featuring individuals with physical disabilities. With over 63 million people with disabilities living in North America, and who control $200 billion in spending power..., we believe more companies will be making measurable effort to connect with consumers with disabilities.
We thank Jockey and the other two finalists, Square Enix and Toyota, among many other organizations, for engaging the disability community in their marketing campaigns.

Despite providers’ best attempts to be accessible, people with disabilities still face many barriers to quality healthcare. These barriers often start from a person’s first interaction with a website. https://goo.gl/CV2kn6
As companies improve their web accessibility, they need to ensure that their sites are accessible in mobile environments too. Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous, and 70% of adults with disabilities under the age of 65 use a smartphone.
