Black buying power in the U.S. is estimated to grow to $1.98 trillion by 20251.

In this report, we explore recommendations for brands and advertisers to create connections within the Black community, and how to engage Black talent from the ground up in order to create informed, thoughtful and authentic experiences for Black consumers.
