Meet Ebony J.
The founder of Ebony J, at small radio station on NKUs online campus back when social media wasn't too popular, and people used email or text messages to communicate with friends.
She saw how valuable it could be for marketing.
Seeing it as a potential opportunity! She started attracting more people to listen to her radio show. Her show surpassed 1,000 online listeners by 2012 and didn't have enough space
to host the crowd. Two years later, in 2014, she doubled it with over 2 500 followers on Facebook introducing new products: event promotion and social media marketing services!
As the number of clients increased, Ebony decided to publicize her business. With new opportunities coming up daily, she could see increased demand for digital advertising through sponsored posts on social media platforms like
Facebook or Twitter. Her background in marketing has given her the skills to help small business owners sell more through online channels.
As a leader, she dedicated her life to simplifying their tasks and achieving real
results so they can focus on what's important - running your company!
Student Success Stories
Deje'a Jasmeen
"I started off very discouraged and didn't know where to start. Ms. Ebony J broke everything down and helped me define my audience. She also helped me create sponsorship packages."
DJ Chris
"The DJ Bootcamp exceeded my expectations! I learned how to mix music, transition between songs, read a crowd, and confidently operate professional DJ equipment. The instructors made learning fun and hands-on, and by the end of the program I felt ready to perform at real events. If you've ever wanted to become a DJ, this is the place to start!"
Monet Barnet
"Recording videos used to make me so nervous, but the Camera Confidence Bootcamp completely changed that. I learned how to present myself professionally, speak naturally on camera, and create content that reflects my brand. I'm finally showing up consistently online!"
