Thomas Jefferson High, Brooklyn New York—Career day! Simone Kelly-Brown gives students a crash course in marketing.

On April 8, 2005, Simone was invited to speak to a classroom of students at Thomas Jefferson’s 8th Annual Career Day. In addition to offering her experience and career advice, she also played a little game, called, “Crash Course in Marketing.”

Many of the students were exposed to the ins and outs of marketing by this fun game. Groups were assigned various products/services such as a Hip-Hop Artist, Video Game, Hair and Nail Salon or Sports Car. They had to come up with an innovative marketing plan in 15 minutes. The winning teams won CDs!

 

 

“Book Lovers Day Reception” at Columbia University on April 15th, was hosted by one of our media sponsors, Black Star News.


Simone was a featured speaker who talked about the inspiration behind “Jack of All Trades, Master of None.”
