New York, NY – Sept. 13, 2018 – African American consumers are enjoying a remarkable period of influence, cultural expression and entrepreneurship that is manifesting digitally and trending mainstream, according to global researcher Nielsen. With the highest smartphone ownership and usage of any demographic group and an unyielding desire for self-expression and image control, African Americans are leveraging digital platforms and technology to move from consumers to creators–of platforms, products, content and financial ecosystems.
According to From Consumers to Creators: The Digital Lives of Black Consumers, the eighth annual report in Nielsen’s Diverse Intelligence Series on African American consumers, Black influence on the economy and pop culture has been intensified by participation in the digital universe and adoption of social media and technology platforms. From video streaming and podcasting to gaming and shopping for food online, African Americans are leaning into digital know-how and open-source innovation—with unprecedented impact on brands, elections and what the country watches, buys and listens to. Black consumers are boldly galvanizing in the digi-sphere to critique, connect, collaborate and create.
"尼尔森美国战略社区联盟和消费者参与高级副总裁谢丽尔-格蕾丝(Cheryl Grace)表示:"非裔美国人正在利用技术创新和社交平台的匿名性来创造公平的竞争环境,并在不受企业审查约束的市场中取得领先地位。"非裔美国人的影响力早已在跨文化领域产生共鸣,现在这种影响力正直接从创作者传递给消费者。让有才华、有创造力的人畅通无阻地登上世界舞台,他们必然会大放异彩。
African Americans, representing 14% of the U.S. population (47.4 million), are using unfettered access to technology as a means to broaden their reach and express themselves on their own terms. Streaming is a primary source of entertainment for African Americans. They stream videos more frequently on all devices than the total population, especially on phones. Black consumers’ music streaming habits played a key role in R&B/Hip-Hop unseating Rock as the No. 1 music genre in the U.S. in 2017.
非裔美国人的购物习惯也在向数字时代转变。报告称,这对品牌来说非常重要,因为非裔美国人的购买力目前达到 1.3 万亿美元,而根据人口、收入和教育水平的提高,到 2022 年,这一数字预计将上升到 1.54 万亿美元。超过一半(54%)的非裔美国人一生都生活在数字时代。这些精通技术的 X 代、千禧一代和 Z 代消费者代表着一个令人垂涎的细分市场,他们的互联互通是日常生活的核心,尤其是产品购买周期。该报告敦促聪明的营销人员认识到这种从消费者到创造者的转变,并就如何打入这一具有文化意识和数字原生消费群体提供了见解。
One digital creator highlighted in the report is actor, activist, and digital gaming co-creator Jesse Williams. He shared, “as a company, Visibility knows that our strengths are also the market’s weaknesses: Black ownership of Black creativity. Technology is an opportunity to make decisions that no longer divorce people from their power. We set out to empower our culture—to lead and learn without fear.”
该报告于今天在华盛顿特区举行的国会黑人核心小组第 48 届年度立法会议上发布,探讨了非裔美国人如何利用数字技术绕过传统的准入门槛,进入从寻找与文化相关的新闻、娱乐、产品和服务到内容创作和政治参与等各个领域。

随着智能手机技术的崛起,以及越来越多的人可以使用新媒体进行内容交流,美国黑人的数字足迹呈指数级增长,""黑人女孩代码"(Black Girls Code)创始人、尼尔森外部顾问委员会成员金伯利-布莱恩特(Kimberly Bryant)说。"黑人消费者对技术的获取是创新的避雷针,为创造力、创业和经济独立打开了机会之门。
