Idea
In the context of the project «Financial independence for women» we do PR activities called «Invest in yourself» and drew a parallel between main women areas of interests ( family, career, health, travelling and etc) and investment activities. Our CEO Viktoria Denisova took responsibility to promote women financial independence as a leader of our project and role model for our TA. We made lot of education activities, take part in forums and conference as KOL, publish articles as an experts in investment and support Financial literacy National program. We don’t force our client but call them to action. We use a client-friendly language to communicate with our TA and present investment in line with FMCG.
Strategy
Our company claimed that woman can be financially independent without her husband support as it was earlier and call Russian women not to hesitate contact us as a competent assistant to analyze their financial problems and searching new opportunities.
Our main difference with the majority of Russian asset management companies are:
- don’t identify investment as a complex financial instrument but as FMCG that you easily can buy online.
- have a social responsibility to our clients ( free financial literacy events, support of social organizations and etc)
- building unique TA – women from 18 y.o. with any income level ( in contrast to common TA – man,35-50 with average income)
- use women magazines and media as a new approach to popularize investment among women
