Black Beyond Measure

What’s trending in the Black community explodes in popularity for the general population. And now, more than ever, Black consumers crave opportunities to directly support their own—from the places they shop and communities they invest in, to the Black entrepreneurs and business owners they amplify with their purchases.

While many retail giants pooled their audiences into one homogenized group, Target saw a special opportunity to celebrate this invaluable guest segment, opening the door for large-scale multicultural creative to shine far and bright.

The SAUCE Difference

A new Target brand voice catered to Black storytelling and cultural — Infusing language, community values, and nuance for a deep and authentic connection. An in-depth strategic and marketing roadmap for all of Target’s future multicultural platforms — rioritizing connection, opportunity, and community success for guests and team members. A deeply inclusive partnership model designed for maximum authenticity and opportunity — we’re talking Black working teams, Black talent, Black directors and production staff, and more. A compelling content calendar for “always-on” Black guest engagement — helping Target increase both awareness and sales of Black-owned brands on their shelves.
