Stop Treating Your Website Like A Business Card says Lenora Blackamore

from Black Businesses Matter (BBM) Podcast · host Larvetta L Loftin-Arnold

We would love to hear from you! Text "BBMFAM" to (312) 300-1300.A website can look perfect and still do nothing for your business. That’s the problem we dig into with Lenora Blackamore, CEO of Mecca Marketing Group Incorporated, a Black-owned marketing and web development firm with deep roots in digital technology going back to the 1990s. We talk about what separates a site that simply exists from an online presence that actually drives leads, sales, and long-term growth.We get practical about the modern small business tech stack: why a CRM matters, how Go High Level can replace a pile of disconnected subscriptions, and where AI fits when you want speed without losing strategy. Lenora explains her real process, from one-on-one discovery and website audits to building a stronger foundation that can scale. We also get into content management, why “content is currency,” and how storing and organizing your assets saves you time and keeps your marketing consistent.Then we widen the lens to community impact. We share thoughts on social media marketing, why it’s still powerful, and why kids under 15 or 16 shouldn’t be navigating that world unchecked. We talk mentorship, tech exposure in schools, and what it takes to keep our communities growing. Lenora also reflects on working at Johnson Publishing Company and what Ebony’s digital pivot teaches every entrepreneur about innovation and leadership.If you’re building a Black-owned business, growing a brand, or trying to modernize your marketing systems, this one is for you.
