Starting Tuesday, Black-owned small businesses can apply for marketing, technology support, and equipment from Comcast, which includes free production of a 30-second commercial, a 90-day media campaign, and marketing consulting from Effectv, Comcast’s ad sales division.

Firms will also be given equipment and free internet, voice and cybersecurity services for up to a year.

Teresa Ward-Maupin, senior vice president for digital and customer experience at Comcast Business said:

“We see and know firsthand how vital small businesses are in powering economic growth, recovery and innovation. Now more than ever, driving awareness and maintaining a strong digital presence are crucial for these businesses to succeed.”
