Mastercard: Heroes Are All Around Us
Businesswomen know passion and perseverance like the back of their hand, and they make defying stereotypes look like a walk in the park. News flash: it isn’t.
We partnered with Marvel to kick off the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever by spotlighting real-life heroes: small business owners nationwide. These entrepreneurs aren’t just unapologetic about their success; they’re downright badass.
The campaign earned 573.4M+ media impressions, 17M+ social media impressions, and hosted local small business owners, HBCU students/representatives, and youth groups across 13 exclusive screenings.
The Jennifer Hudson Show
Egypt Otis, the owner of Comma Bookstore & Social Club was featured in the commercial and invited to the Jennifer Hudson Show.
