A sad day for the AfterNoon Agency team...

Dealing with imposter syndrome as minorities in marketing and advertising is no easy feat. Thoughts of doubt and inadequacy can take a toll on our mental and the lack of diversity and representation in the industry doesn’t help at all. This week, we’re chatting with Anthony Williams, MGP alumni, Brand Executive at Wieden + Kennedy, and 2020 Adcolor Future. He’s sharing his experience and dropping gems along the way.  

This one is a biggie. It’s job search podcast day! We're with the team today to talk it through because we are all going through it currently. This weeks episode focuses on us as young marketing aspirants. It can be a little scary for us to step into a world of chaos while trying to make a mark. We're unpacking entering the industry during a pandemic.

This episode of AfterNoon's With is entitled "Creative to Creative". Our guest is Jay Blacks, an alumni of the Marcus Graham Project & Sr. Brand Designer at The Honey Pot Company. We're discussing all things creative, from process, to working from home, to finding inspiration during a pandemic. It's a conversation from one creative to another!

We live in a world that thrives on racism, sexism, and other forms of hatred. So imagine being a black girl in this world.

The month of July is dedicated to Minority Mental Health Awareness: this month highlights the existence of mental health conditions within marginalized communities and the importance of recognizing them. Today's dedicated podcast highlights the stories of the members in our agency as they share their respective journeys in understanding and resolving their mental health challenges.

The more you know, the more you grow! In honor of the richness that is our music, on this episode, we sat down with the one and only Marcus Collins, who once ran digital strategy for Queen Bey. In addition to his culture-moving work with Beyonce, Marcus studies the effects of cultural contagion on consumer behavior as a marketing professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. He translates these cultural learnings for “blue-chip” brands that wish to create contagious marketing campaigns that extend across both the online and offline worlds of “social.” Throughout his career, he’s been acknowledged for his strategic and creative contributions (Advertising Age's 40 Under 40 recipient, Clio award winner) and launched campaigns like “Cliff Paul” for State Farm, the Made In America Music Festival for Budweiser, ”Hello Brooklyn” for the Brooklyn Nets, and the Eggo + Netflix’s Stranger Things conquest. Hosted by our Copywriter, Makisha Noël, dig into this session for all the gems!
