case study
National Black MBA Association
The National Black MBA Association needed to better understand its audience in order to send more targeted messages that would compel action, namely registration among Black professionals for its upcoming event.
Approach: After defining the total addressable market within commuter distance of the event location, we layered on membership and previous/prospective attendee data.
Results: The analysis revealed that there was significant opportunity to grow attendance (and membership) from regional audiences and also uncovered actionable insights around audience retention trends in relation to event location patterns.
