Overview

It strives to provide hourly workers with financial freedom and to streamline the process of moving money from financial institutions to employees.

Strategy

5W positioned DailyPay's Chief Innovation Officer Jeanniey Walden as an expert in HR and the workplace by inserting her into conversations about inflation, return to work, monthly job reports, unemployment, and more. When monthly job numbers were released, 5W offered quotes from Jeanniey to get into these stories, incorporating insight into what the reports meant for workers. 5W also kept a finger on the pulse of the news cycle, looking into topics related to inflation, wages, and hiring trends, putting Jeanniey forward for print/online and broadcast media to discuss topics such as the impact of inflation on earned wages, how someone can determine if their salary increase was a true increase due to inflation, the most in-demand perks for companies, and how companies can effectively attract workers in a competitive hiring environment. Also, to support DailyPay's partnership news, 5W took a localized pitching approach, offering Jeanniey and client spokespeople to discuss how earned wage access is helping employees in certain regions. This multi-pronged strategy allowed 5W to keep DailyPay top-of-mind for journalists while building awareness through consistent, quality media coverage.
