Black-owned Friday

We teamed up with T-Pain, Normani, Desi Banks, and more than 50 amazing Black-owned businesses to throw a fantastic celebration for the second annual #BlackOwnedFriday. Together, we showcased over 100 must-have products, from sleek beauty essentials to chic home goods.

Interactive Experience

We turned the song into an interactive film where you can shop for over 100 products from more than 50 different Black-owned businesses right from each scene. We hosted it all on a microsite and also highlighted the Black-owned business badge to raise awareness.

Success

This campaign caught the eye of more than 60 publications, reaching a whopping 3.71 billion readers. During Black Friday and Cyber Weekend, the search for "black-owned shops near me" skyrocketed by 610%. Additionally, searches for "black-owned businesses" more than doubled. The buzz on social media was just as exciting, with conversation about Black-owned businesses jumping by 115% in posts and 83% in mentions.
