The Marcus Graham Project’s iCR8™ programs are designed to provide diverse aspirants in the field of marketing and media, including advertising, PR & social media with the exposure and experience necessary to solidify careers within the industry.
Our theory is that by investing in the exposure, training, and mentorship of the next generation of talent, we will see a return in the development of a vast talent pool of marketplace leaders in the media and marketing industry.
The vision of the Marcus Graham Project (MGP) is to connect and collaborate with the talent development ecosystem, to create a long term solution to widening the pipeline of diverse talent and leadership within the industry.
Partners of the Marcus Graham Project aren’t simply supporting an organization or giving to a charity; they are investing in the future of an industry.
The issue of diversity in the media and marketing industry is a complex one that has existed for decades. While often viewed as a corporate social responsibility issue, the need for companies to reflect the changing face of our globe is a business imperative.
As a non-profit organization, our volunteers have a profound impact on our ability to plan and execute our initiatives.
We count on partnerships both with corporations, agencies, trade associations, schools and other non-profit programs to collectively impact the issue.
PARTNEROur organization’s heartbeat is found in unlocking the potential of our participants and our alumni through our programs.
