THE TARGET + BRAND

Target Audience

Messaging on the BWS website, social media channels, and across all digital and traditional media will position BWS as a credible financial source for Black people at every stage of wealth development:

From the recent college grad who is just setting out on their wealth journey and is faced with paying down school loans and buying that first stock
To the mid-career professional who owns their home and concurrently balances the demands of pulling multiple children through college
To the 55+ demographic that is 10 years from retirement and looking for a strategy that will enable them to sprint to the finish.

In other words, BWS will focus on the segment of the Black population that understands building wealth is essential and has a thirst for knowledge presented through a colorized prism that they can relate to.

The BWS target audience is the Black community. Household income of $35K to over $200K, with an average being $80K.

Brand Evaluation

BWS is a nascent brand, and our team is taking a quantitative approach from inception. Google analytic tracking will measure website traffic. Inquiry forms will enable communication based on interest. Contact forms will build a segmented audience and ensure optimal engagement. Paid ads and organic posts will disseminate curated information supplied by a carefully selected group of financial partners.

Social Footprint

We are evaluating 4 leading marketing and public relations firms with a track record, following and experience marketing and engaging our target audience. Our selected marketing and public relations partner will assist us with building awareness and engagement for the event.
