This digital panel brings together a wide range of voices working across agencies and in-house teams, spanning creative and non-creative roles alike. From art direction and copywriting to production, content, and brand management, speakers will break down what early careers actually look like, not just the polished version you see online. Panelists will talk candidly about internships, portfolio programs, first jobs, and the pivots that happen along the way. While open to all students, this conversation centers Black perspectives and lived experience, creating space for honesty about access, opportunity, and representation in the industry. The goal is clarity, not gatekeeping. Attendees will leave with a better sense of the many paths into creative work, how different roles intersect, and how to build a career that feels intentional, realistic, and sustainable.
