Russell Westbrook enters the digital media game to draw attention to multicultural audiences

Forms a strategic alliance with Causal IQ to develop programmatic solutions for global brands to reach multicultural audiences.

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — veteran NBA point guard, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Russell Westbrook, has officially entered the digital media business by launching Russell Westbrook Enterprises, new digital media division, RW Digital. The division has designed specific programmatic solutions that enable brands to more effectively reach diverse audiences and amplify minority owned and operated publishers.

Since its rise, Westbrook’s business portfolio has grown to span multiple verticals, including venture capital, fashion, real estate, insurance and now digital advertising. With the driving force behind the resourceful betterment of its community being the focal point, Westbrook has intentionally expanded its mission of empowerment through the thoughtful exploration of additional pathways to success. “With RW Digital, my mission is to enable brands to reach multicultural audiences through data-driven, programmatic media solutions. Today’s multicultural advertising lacks market insights and a deeper understanding of cultural nuances. Our platform also partners with brands to drive important social causes,” said Russell Westbrook. “Empowering underserved communities is my passion. With this business, I can make an impact on a global scale.”

Since formalizing the partnership, RW Digital has built a portfolio of clients with key brands including AT&T, PepsiCo, Moderna, American Airlines and American Entertainment Network.

The growing need to understand diverse audiences is an increasingly critical element in today’s advertising landscape. With this solution, clients can maximize the reach and scale of their digital media campaigns programmatically, achieving measurable results.
