African American consumers are speaking directly to brands in unprecedented ways and achieving headlinemaking results. Throughout 2017, popular brands witnessed the power of Black Twitter and the brand impact of socially conscious Black consumers.

Through social media, African American consumers have brokered a seat at the table and are demanding that brands and marketers speak to them in ways that resonate culturally and experientially—if these brands want their business.

And with African Americans spending $1.2 trillion annually, the Power 100 opportunity places your brand directly infront of a more than capable consumer.
