BLACK ENTERPRISE Sets New Digital Traffic Record, Now No. 1 Among Black Digital Media Brands

NEW YORK, May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BLACK ENTERPRISE broke its digital audience record in April 2021 with 8.6 million unique visitors according to Comscore Media Metrix. BLACK ENTERPRISE was also No. 1 in its competitive space surpassing sites like BET.com, TheGrio.com, TheRoot.com, Essence.com, and the iOne network.

In addition, BLACK ENTERPRISE was the 16^th ranked website publication in the Business News & Information category in April, surpassing Fortune, Kiplinger, and The Street in overall website traffic.

BLACK ENTERPRISE has seen a steady rise in site traffic over the last two years growing over 1,300% since April 2019. A proprietary content creation system, strategic implementation of audience development techniques, and the enduring strength of the BLACK ENTERPRISE brand led to this significant increase in traffic. Through consistent innovation, BLACK ENTERPRISE made the pivot away from traditional media and in-person events and moved toward digital content, web shows, and virtual conferences. 

"The reinvention of BLACK ENTERPRISE has come at an exciting time for us as we celebrate our 50^th anniversary of the brand," says Earl "Butch" Graves, Jr., President & CEO of BLACK ENTERPRISE. "We have successfully transitioned our brand at a time when many legacy publications across the spectrum have failed. We look forward to continuing to inform and educate our audience on how to obtain Wealth for Life."

"As we surveyed the landscape, we seized an opportunity to be the leading voice to the Black community," Justin Barton, BLACK ENTERPRISE VP/Digital Strategy & Partnerships, adds, "by highlighting the positive entrepreneurial and corporate achievements of Black people, which is still too rarely a focus of the mainstream media."
