The pride of being a black entrepreneur in Brazil
We created a campaign to honor and celebrate the winners.
Based on individual interviews with the winners, we developed compelling stories about their dreams and big ideas. To help Google executives and partners communicate the key messages of the program, we developed a Message Guide that included text recommendations. We created content to portray the excitement of the winners, as well as social media posts, and a newsletter for the black entrepreneurs in the Google for Startups community. We secured individual interviews across various media outlets.
Impact
The focus on black entrepreneurs on social media became a source of pride.
