Did You Miss Out on the Super Bowl of Marketing to Black Women?

Like a good party, you should be kicking yourself if you weren't there. Sunday, July 6 concluded the four-day event known as the Essence Festival. The event celebrated its 20th anniversary with a bang, exceeding attendance expectations while continuing to be the number one gathering event of Black women. While over 100,000 Black women converged on New Orleans, so did Prince, Hollywood, think-tank representatives and staples of the brand world. Like no other event, Essence Festival was an opportunity to engage married, single, millennial, gen x, baby boomers and all socio-economic levels of Black women all together, all at the same time.
