When BBG&G, in partnership with Titanium Worldwide, began working with WBEC Metro NY & Greater DMV, we identified certain perceptions that existed among WBEs and outlined goals for our initial branding and marketing efforts.

  • 40 - 45% of research respondents were unfamiliar with WBEC products and services
  • Members may have known about WBEC’s programming but didn’t understand its value or how it related to them
  • WBEC was seen as an organization that networks and advocates for mature white women
  • Business opportunities that are specific to their companies were the most valuable benefit that WBEs sought

WBEC Metro NY and Greater DMV’s partnership with BBG&G has been invaluable. They understand our brand, took the time to sit with us and get to know what our goals were, and gave our ideas new life in the development of our new website. We wanted to enhance our online presence – six months of working with the BBG&G team, we went from infancy to deeply engaged.
