Kira Willner, senior vice president of product and business strategy, wealth and investing at Dow Jones & Co., writes on the International News Media Association website about how the company’s strategy varies by publication.
Willner writes, “MarketWatch serves as the perfect entry point to Dow Jones’s broader wealth and investing portfolio, attracting ambitious audiences with accessible, real-time market reporting and practical advice.
“Our new brand campaign for MarketWatch, ‘Don’t Short Yourself,’ is a signal to motivated, young individuals seeking clarity in a complex world that MarketWatch can be their indispensable guide. Launched just last month, this campaign positions MarketWatch as the financial news brand for a new generation looking to grow financially but unsure where to turn.
“The campaign reminds users to step back, think long-term, and take control of their financial future — directly addressing the tendency of younger investors to chase short-term gains at the expense of their long-term potential.
“When readers are ready to dive deeper, our strategy shifts to conversion and community building.
