New York, NY – May 13, 2024 – Zebra Strategies, a leader in qualitative and quantitative market research for marginalized, underrepresented, and hard-to-engage populations, proudly announces its recent designation as a certified HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) company, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to community empowerment and economic development. This certification comes on the heels of their relocation to Harlem, driven by the desire to be closer to the voices they represent and better serve their brand relationships, which derive from diverse verticals across the country.
“We are thrilled to achieve HUBZone certification, as it aligns perfectly with our mission to drive positive change in disadvantaged communities,” said Denene Rodney, Founder and CEO of Zebra Strategies. The HUBZone certification, granted by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), signifies Zebra Strategies’ dedication to fostering growth and prosperity in economically distressed areas. “This designation not only opens doors for us to contribute meaningfully to the local Harlem community but also underscores our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
As a certified HUBZone business, Zebra Strategies is poised to leverage its expertise and resources to support initiatives that promote economic revitalization, job creation, and community development. Zebra Strategies aims to maximize its impact and create lasting change in areas that need it most by partnering with government agencies, other HUBZone-certified entities, and corporations working with HUB zone-certified corporations.
In addition to accessing federal contracting opportunities, HUBZone certification enables Zebra Strategies to participate in mentorship programs, support government agencies and prime vendors to achieve diversity spending goals, and benefit from networking opportunities with the community and fellow HUBZone businesses.
“Our move to Harlem has been a long journey, and I want to thank my staff for their hard work and the community for welcoming us with open arms,” added Denene Rodney. We see this certification as not just a recognition of our capabilities but as an affirmation of our commitment to serving the communities and voices that we represent, and we look forward to utilizing this platform to amplify our impact and empower individuals and businesses.”
Zebra Strategies invites partners, stakeholders, and community members to join us in celebrating this achievement and looks forward to forging meaningful collaborations that drive positive change.
