We merge strategy, design, & technology to accelerate growth for Black enterprises

Founded in May 2019, the Black Renaissance Group is Lade’s strategy consulting + digital solutions firm that works to empower Black enterprises with a trusted network of experts and solutions to accelerate growth.

Strategic Priorities

 Increasing digital presence. At the start of the COVID-19, the Black Renaissance Group quickly pivoted to ramp up on 5 different digital optimization projects to support Black organizations through the pandemic. Our firm redesigned 4 different sites, developed 100+ pieces of content for social media resulting in an increase in post impressions, community engagement, and a 300% growth in website traffic. With digital transactions being the new normal for businesses, we not only enabled continuity in engagement between our clients and their target consumers, but also increased it.

Securing funding. One of the top challenges Black businesses face is access to capital. The Black Renaissance Group has supported clients in securing $1.1M in funding, through grant writing, pitch deck creation, programmatic one-pagers and media kits. This generated gains in financial resources for Black business owners that allowed numerous under resourced organizations to further scale their enterprises and better service their customers.

Disseminating information. The Black Renaissance Group empowers Black leaders with the guidance and resources required to grow their enterprises. Addressing disparities that affect business acumen within Black organizations positions them as more  competitive  within their industries.
