The 85% Niche Commitment to Women and Women of Color

The historical mission behind the site’s voice and business work.

A statement of intent

The archived blog excerpt thanked readers for their interest in making brands more relevant to women and women of color. It named Latina, Black, Asian and Middle Eastern women among the people the site wanted marketers to understand more carefully. Its market totals were framed in the language of their time; this page preserves the intent without repeating them as current evidence.

A connection across the site

The mission linked several kinds of work. Leading Voices gathered routes for perspectives often grouped too broadly. Services described how audience knowledge could shape a brand’s positioning, promotion, retail environment and partnerships.

What commitment requires

A commitment to relevance is tested in ordinary decisions: whose feedback is sought, which barriers are noticed, how language is chosen, and whether the resulting experience actually helps. These questions remain more useful than a slogan about inclusion.
