    Ep. 25 - Making reusable packing mainstream w/ Loop's Marc Violo

    Although reusable packing use to be the norm (think the milkman), now it seems to be relegated to coffee cups and niche stores. Loop on the other hand is bringing the concept back and some of the world's biggest brands are on board.

    To talk about the trends and how they are finding success, Loop's Head of Marketing Marc Violo, joins The Marketing Talks podcast.

    In this episode of Marketing Talks, host Michael Smith chats with the Senior Growth Manager at Fable, Jaxson Khan, about web accessibility.

    Fable takes accessibility testing a step beyond  online testing tools that help tick a regulatory box. Their testers are a diverse community of accessibility professionals, each living with a disability.

    In the episode, we cover some of the bigger issues Jaxson is seeing, quick fixes content marketers can make on a website, the laws that are in place you might not be aware of, the reasons why we should be making our platforms more accessible and some of the key talking points that will help convince stakeholders to invest in this area.
