Why we matter

Power Couples are young, successful and high-earning couples. Career-focused and hardworking, this Type aims to live life to the fullest and has a healthy appetite for adventure and creative pursuits. Well paid employment results in few financial concerns and with the savings slowly building, Power Couples often have some money left over to spend on extras. They are the least likely Type to have children and this often results in relatively high discretionary spend to indulge in the things they love to do. Power Couples are keen to build their wealth and have plans to invest in the future.

 

Who we are

Power Couples are typically young professional couples or singles earning personal incomes above $100,000 p.a. and renting high rise apartments in the inner city. This Type contains a notable number of recent migrants from diverse backgrounds including Chinese, French, Korean, Russian and South African. These young professionals and managers are well educated and have attained degrees in creative arts, IT, commerce and sociology. Aged between 25–34 years, this Type does contain a small representation of those who are brand new to the country or those that are still studying.
