Black America continues to grow, and the outsized impact of their cultural and
economic influence cannot be ignored or taken for granted. Black audiences
lead media engagement across multiple channels—including digital platforms
where global marketers are planning increased investment. At the same time,
media and the societal landscape continue to shift. One thing is certain, brands’ approach to Black consumers cannot be business as usual. As more Black people embrace the nuances of their diverse identities, they expect brand outreach and targeting to better understand and reflect them in order to earn their business long term. The risks of not meeting these expectations can be high: 67% of Black Americans are likely to seek out new brands if a current provider doesn’t align with the causes they care about. Yet recent headlines have highlighted companies scaling back their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies—principles that ensure effective outreach and are backed by research to make companies out-perform competitors. These decisions can have long-term impact—for diverse communities and the brands trying to reach them. Advertising is more than reach—it’s connection. Creating connections requires advertisers to truly understand their consumers—who they are, what motivates them, how they consume media and what will push them to a purchase. And this is especially true for diverse audience segments balancing unique challenges and traditions alongside their consumer behaviors.
