Advertisers for the Big Game risk missing out on $500B market by ignoring website accessibility
Briefly

As brands invest upwards of $7 million for Super Bowl ad space, an analysis by AudioEye highlights a critical accessibility issue with their websites. Approximately 25% of U.S. adults face disabilities, hindering their ability to engage with digital content. The study evaluated 10 Super Bowl advertisers, uncovering a disconnection between the millions spent on ads and the lack of accessible digital experiences. This oversight excludes a substantial consumer group that controls around $500 billion in disposable income, emphasizing the necessity for brands to integrate accessibility in their digital presence.

The findings reveal a major disconnect between brand investment in advertising and their commitment and efforts to make digital experiences accessible to all.
