October 26: “THE TRANSFORMATIVE STATE OF BLACK NEWSPAPERS AND ADVERTISING IN AN ERA OF UNCERTAINTY”

On this insightful episode of #MOBEMondays, our host Kevin McFall, Inner-City Computer Stars Foundation and Red Clay Digital, assembled a panel of newspaper, archive and advertising thought leaders for an engaging conversation about the transformative state of Black newspapers and advertising in an era of uncertainty.

While many count out the Black News industry, we will delve into the historic, current, and future relevancy of this industry and the vitality to communities of Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color. Our panel of experts includes Hiram Jackson, Real Times Media; Angela Ford, Obsidian Collection Archives, and Melvin Wilson, Solve Innovation Group.

The session will be Live on Facebook on the #MOBESymposium page, facebook.com/MOBESymposium and on the YouTube channel, MOBE Symposium. #blackowned #LegacyMatters #BlackNews #advertisingwhileblack #RedClayDigital #SolveInnovationGroup #ObsidianCollectionArchives #RealTimesMedia

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, MOBE decided to postpone our 2020 Symposium weeks before other events began canceling and states went into enforcing #StayAtHome measures.

We believe people are the most important resource we have in life, in business, in society, in our culture and in our families. And while it is important to network and we look forward to connecting and learning from each other, it is more important for us to be well, safe and healthy, so we can get through this and create opportunities for the future. We applaud and appreciate all of the selfless Heroes on the frontlines doing their best to keep us safe, fed and to save lives.

Follow us on Social Media for updates and news. @MOBESymposium

Be safe, be healthy and we look forward to reconnecting soon!

CONNECTING BRANDS + PRODUCERS TO THE 21ST CENTURY BUSINESS AND CONSUMER MARKETPLACE

WHAT IS MOBE?

MOBE (Pronounced “moe-bee”) Marketing Opportunities in Business and Entertainment, where Marketing, Technology, Sports,and Entertainment professionals converge with early-stage/growing businesses, business professionals and corporations. The MOBE Mission: To facilitate discussion, instruction and business building relationships.

Since 1992, the MOBE Symposium has delivered business building, education and mentoring resources for African-American professionals; sports, entertainment, and other entrepreneurs. MOBE facilitates deals between these companies and large corporations to grow their businesses.

The brand remains strong, as it delivered on an intention most conferences don’t: To build business!!! MOBE has a proven track record for presenting strategic alliances and professional development.

Our registrants directly influenced the spending power and impacted a vastly larger urban consumer base.
More than $187 million in business was generated to African-American companies as a direct result of associations conceived at MOBE symposiums.
MOBE is where content producers, talent agents, and others seek out the partnerships that will propel them to the next level.
MOBE is the convergence of brands, agencies, media companies, producers and entrepreneurs.
