Our Academies
Spring 2021 Academies
Marketing
Marketers are the brains behind getting the word out about products or services. They monitor market trends, create advertising campaigns, develop pricing strategies and targeting strategies based on demographic data. Our Marketing academy is focused on creating the next generation of marketers who will shape the way companies communicate with consumers of all races. Not only do African Americans Marketers provide valuable insights on the 1.3 trillion in annual spending by African Americans but they also have an intimate understanding of Black culture which influences purchasing decisions that extend far beyond African American consumers.
Sports Administration
While Black and African American athletes account for more than half of America’s professional athletes they account for less than 5% of the professional roles associated with professional and collegiate sports. Our Sports Administration Academy aims to create more opportunities for African Americans within the business of sports.
Television & Film
Our Television & Film Academy focuses on creating more opportunities within development. Development departments decide which pilots get made into TV shows, which series get renewed, and which programs get canceled so it is paramount that there are black voices in the room as these decisions are being made ensuring the black people and their stories are being properly depicted in television and film.
