Mission

I Am Black Atlanta is powered by I Am Black Business in collaboration with the Atlanta Black Chambers.

Our mission and constant “North Star” will be to promote the circulation and equally as import, the recirculation of the $1.5 trillion in annual spending power currently controlled by African Americans.

We are going to do this by focusing on what we believe are 5 key deliverables of the platform:

Elite Selection: Quality over quantity – only businesses with a sustained track record of performance will be eligible.

Owner Spotlights: Blog posts, live interviews and featured content on I Am Black Atlanta TV that will create a closer relationship between consumers and business owners.

Seamless Search and Discovery: Eliminate the need to add “black owned” in your searches. Technology is no longer an inhibitor – experience fast relevant results that rival Google.

Loyalty and Gamification: Reward consumers for their consistent support and create engaging opportunities that make buying black a lifestyle.

Business Enablement: Through strategic relationships with local organizations like the Atlanta Black Chambers, businesses can receive advisory services that enable growth and expansion.

Entry Criteria

Each business will be required to meet this specific criteria supported by documentation.

At least 51% Black Owned

At least 4 stars on Google Reviews

Minimum 1 Year in Business

Benefits to Your Business

Black owned businesses need to be discovered, and many of them focus on organic search and digital advertising. Due to the amount of competition, it can be very difficult to rank highly on Google, or get ads for relevant keywords.

I Am Black Atlanta significantly reduces the number of competing businesses and creates a system that allows businesses to reach their target audience.

Benefits include:

Improved Organic Search Ranking
Limited Competition with higher ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
Stronger Connection with Your Target Audience
Discounted membership to the Atlanta Black Chambers (Atlanta Only)
