Breakthrough returns with “Hello My Brand Is …” a minority-focused networking event to help students brand themselves and tell their stories. It’s a networking opportunity combined with a happy hour complete with a contest to pitch your brand for a cash prize.

Hosted at Marcus Thomas LLC, 4781 Richmond Road from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on November 30th, we’re providing junior-and-senior level students (two-year college students also) opportunities to network with advertising, marketing and PR insiders, plus learn effective ways to translate their personal brand into career-enhancing opportunities.

During the event, we will also host a creative pitch contest focused on giving five fearless individuals 3 minutes to pitch their personal brands in a creative manner before a panel of judges comprised of industry insiders for an opportunity to win a cash prize. If interested in participating in the creative pitch, please sign up below for the “I’d like to sign up to be chosen to pitch my personal brand” option. We’ll reach out with additional instructions for you to communicate why you should be chosen for a chance to creatively pitch your brand, as well as an idea of how creative you can be during the pitch process.

We’re searching for individuals to think outside of the box when pitching themselves; we’re allowing you to get as creative as possible. So please take the advantage of this unique opportunity.
