This first Impact Report describes the progress we\u2019ve made towards that mission across a range of stakeholders from the period of June 2022 to June 2023.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2023, during the height of a challenging economic climate, our insights pointed us towards one idea that would be the guiding light for our communications and strategies: GROWTH. After taking a closer look, we chose two areas to hone in on: 1) tapping into underserved communities who have been alienated or ignored by traditional marketing tactics; 2) unleashing the power of authentic Black voices. With these two tactics in mind, we focused our resources and can now proudly share the results with Black-owned media platforms, clients and consumers alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Impact Report provides a top-line overview on the effectiveness of our focus on growth. Through our work we\u2019ve been able to see results such as:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Our Collective is growing to become the largest in the US marketing industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Ad spend allocation for multicultural doubling.&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Increased amount of Black creators partnering with top brands equitably.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a closer look at these results as well as additional ones, please see the report below.
