“We are so pleased participants around the globe joined us for what was truly an informative and engaging event,” said Bernadette Morris, president and CEO of Black PR Wire and moderator of the webinar. “Our panel of experts proved through their fascinating cases how effective communication with minority markets leads to great success for any organization.”
