DYSLEXAI
I worked with the charity for two years delivering strategy and campaigns all aimed at changing the narrative around dyslexia and Dyslexic Thinking. One campaign we launched, was DyslexAI, aimed at highlighting how Dyslexic Thinking & AI are an powerful partners; with a view to create conversation at a time when AI was in the headlines and many were seeing the negative aspects of its workplace introduction.
The rise of AI is truly remarkable. It is transforming the way we work, live, and interact with each other. In light of this, alongside Virgin, Sir Richard Branson and agency FCB Global, I campaign managed, collectively created and launched a brilliant campaign to show what is possible if AI and Dyslexic Thinking come together. DyslexAI.
Insight told us that together, Dyslexic Thinkers and AI are an unstoppable force, as 72% of dyslexics see AI tools (like ChatGPT) as a vital starting point for their projects and ideas – to bring attention to this positive message around AI and the skillsets the workplace of the future needs we created an earned, owned and paid for campaign to help drive change and the narrative around dyslexia and its strengths rather than its challenges.
Made By Dyslexia empowers dyslexics, and shows the world the limitless power of dyslexic thinking. If businesses can harness this power, and if dyslexics can harness the power of AI – we can really drive the future forward.
