During the first week of November, KW2's Anne Bogen and Georgia L. attended Madison365's Leadership Summit, where KW2 was a Bronze Sponsor. Madison365 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that launched in 2015 as an online news source with a focus on communities of color. Its mission is "to start conversations, find real and lasting solutions, build community, invite action and encourage emerging leaders in Greater Madison’s communities of color, and to foster dialog between members of diverse communities." Thank you, Madison365, for the insightful and innovative Leadership Summit. We enjoyed seeing old friends, making new ones, and supporting diverse leaders making a difference. #Diversity #Leadership #DiverseVoices #DiversitySupporter #DEI #CommunityInAction #DiversityEquityInclusion

Audience segmentation is an essential marketing strategy — but conventional media plans aren't always successful in reaching audiences of color or underserved groups. Instead of chasing broad metrics like impressions, we lean on innovative strategies and prioritize placements that deliver authentic audience engagement. Our most recent article shares insights from KW2’s senior media manager, Ashley Baken, on ways that media planning can overcome bias and focus on trust, understanding, and meaningful behavior change that goes beyond a purchase path.

The mental health of boys and men in the United States is reaching a crisis state. The statistics are both alarming and unignorable. To cope, many men are embracing male stereotypes that make them feel understood, empowered, and part of a community. But what if those stereotypes are, at best, toxic and, at worst, escalating the crisis? Take a look at our most recent article to learn our take on the new masculine stereotypes, and why it’s essential to learn from them and develop marketing and communication strategies that, instead, work toward more inclusive, connected communities.

“Saying, Not Saying” is a mental health campaign we created alongside Jason Fischer and our other partners at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to reveal all the things left unsaid when answering the question, “How are you?”   Our goal was to show that mental health concerns aren’t always visible, but being honest about our mental health can help people feel empowered to talk about it and seek help when needed.   It’s a simple, powerful campaign that we hope will help Wisconsinites understand the importance of their mental health.   See the full press release: https://lnkd.in/gxBzeC3x   #DHSWI #mentalhealth #SayingNotSayingWI #awareness
