Representation matters
Here’s where you will find the latest African American trends and reports featuring Nielsen’s insights. We’ll also keep you updated on the work we are doing in African American communities across the U.S. And remember, every insight we share starts with a “yes.” At Nielsen we get it. We’ve been listening to you for years. And when you say “yes” to our surveys, your voice is heard, your privacy is protected and your story gets told to the companies that make the products and the media you love.

Our Diverse Intelligence Series explores diverse audiences’ unique media consumption habits and representation in media. The series is an industry resource to help brands better understand and reach diverse audiences.

About African Americans
Supporting Black-owned small business

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities and need our support. We’re proud to help Black-owned small businesses with our new Small Business website—a space for small business owners to find insights and resources to keep their businesses on track or plan for growth.
This is one of many steps we’re taking to fight racism and discrimination of all forms both within and beyond Nielsen. We will continue to grow and evolve this site over time.
Visit our Small Business site and share it with your networks.

At Nielsen, we are committed to being responsible with the personal data we maintain and we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we collect.
