Quit Looking For Black Businesses And Start Hiring Us

Fortune 500, please stop acting like Black business owners are hiding and you need a guide to find us.

We're right here on LinkedIn.

There's no need to go searching for some Black business directory to find us.

We are right here on LinkedIn!

Some of us, like me, are even sitting in your inbox because we reach out proactively and you never respond.

I own Park Road Studios, a video communications business.

My specialty is communications solutions for the C-suite.

I have communications solutions that you need right now for leading your organization through ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

I have communications solutions that you can implement right now as part of your long-term strategy for creating lasting, meaningful change in our society in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

We're Not Hiding

If you really want to do business with Black business owners, it's as simple as connecting with someone like me right here on LinkedIn who has been actively using this platform for years as a primary marketing tool.

I do my market research, Fortune 500. I know you're on LinkedIn more than any other social media platform. That's why I'm here.

I'm not hiding and I've never been in hiding.

For Real Or For Show?

Is it really important to you to do business with Black-owned businesses, or is it just important to you to be seen saying it?

If you really want to do business with me, Fortune 500, like you keep saying publicly, when are you going to show up?

I'm right here. And so are my colleagues.

Business Owners, Make Yourselves Visible

Black business owners, make yourself visible in the comments.

I keep seeing posts where people are acting like they have to go outside of LinkedIn to some secret, magic database to find us.

Describe your service or product in the comments. But be brief. Shorter is better.

A short video like Danita's is even better:

If you don't have at least your elevator pitch on video so other people can use it to promote your business the way you see me promoting Danita's business here, you're not doing everything you could be doing to market your business.

I can help you with that.
