PROFILE |
 |
African-Americans' buying power is growing, and Burrell Communications Group helps its clients tap that market. Burrell is one of the largest African-American-owned advertising agencies in the US, specializing in advertising campaigns aimed at black consumers. Major clients include Coca-Cola, General Mills, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, Sears, and Verizon. Following a trend of mergers and acquisitions in the advertising industry, Thomas Burrell (who founded the company in 1971 and is chairman and CEO) sought a partner in 1999 and found one in French ad giant Publicis, which bought 49% of Burrell.
