Marketing to Black Millennials: Incl Impact of COVID-19 - US - June 2020
Overview
 
What you need to know
Black Millennials are grateful for what they’ve achieved and hope for a better future, but some struggle to find the security and comfort for themselves and family that will fulfill their version of the American Dream. This generation believes their voice has power; they have seen the evidence, and they will wield it among organizations and brands where they believe they will see results. COVID-19 will bring particular hardship especially to younger Black Millennials, who are already struggling, and who may repeat the long recovery their older counterparts encountered during the last recession, nearly a decade ago.
