Online PR News – 09-April-2021 – MOBE (Marketing Opportunities in Business and Entertainment) has opened registration for its free, one-day virtual symposium slated for Friday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT. The event, first announced March 10, will provide attendees with business-building information in technology, marketing and entertainment industries under the theme of "Leveraging Our Power, Accelerating Our Success."

The days program begins with a fireside conversation between MOBE Chairman Curtis Symonds and TV One/CLEO TV President Michelle Rice focusing on her personal journey to the C-Suite, how George Floyds death affected the network, and the direction of TV One under its new leadership. Three subsequent panel discussions will comprise a large part of the afternoons schedule. The topics for those conversations follow:

-The Stream Is Reel examines the future of streaming, the impact of the coronavirus on different areas of entertainment, sports and gaming industries, creating a new customer experience and what the opportunities will be for BIPOC audiences.

-The Black Awakening BET will lead a virtual session discussing how the media (through storytelling, news reporting, information and commercials) plays a critical role in shaping and driving individuals and communities values, perceptions and actions. This panel will explore intent versus impact and a framework for solutions with the goal of fostering changes to eliminate systemic racism.

-Wheres The Money? The Shifting of Retail the panel will discuss lessons learned after the pandemic and social justice protests and how retailers had to adjust to new consumer spending. The future of brick-and-mortar locations, how retailers are surviving and thriving in the hybrid climate (online/virtual with physical destinations), and what are the opportunities in the new few years will be some of the questions being answered.

The day concludes with a keynote address by Rushion McDonald, marketing and branding expert and host of the Money-Making Conversations podcast that delivers information on career planning, motivation, financial literacy and life balance. He is also the leader of 3815 Media, the firm which represents ESPNs Stephen A. Smith and CNN Legal Analyst Areva Martin, along with creating content for colleges and small and large company brands.
