I’m out of breath!
I just spoke for two hours at the University of Southern California – Marshall School of Business at the invitation of my former professor, Gil Appel.
Need to learn DM etiquette? How to jump from entertainment into tech? Look no further! I had a great time breaking down what was most useful from my USC and internship experiences and directly applicable to post-grad life and high tech workplace.
Through laughter and meme references, I gave current students my tips on how to leverage communication in digital marketing. My education is the basis for my professional success, and I love that I can share that with university students!

I am currently based in the SF Bay Area and work at Instagram as a Marketing Coordinator.
I’m a proud alumna of the University of Southern California c/o 2018 (B.A. Communication, Minors in Marketing and Spanish). As a Trustee Renaissance Scholar at USC, (Communication, Marketing, Spanish) I researched consumer behavior and culture theory, gave tours and shot red carpets. For three years, I served as Communications Coordinator of the USC African American Cinema Society. In Fall 2015, I performed research on the underrepresentation of women and racial groups in entertainment as part of USC Annenberg’s Media, Diversity & Social Change Initiative. This study, #CARD2016, was covered by nearly 100 outlets, including BBC, NPR, AP, TIME, Fortune and EW.
As a professional entertainment freelancer, I have spoken through brands such as Facebook, Star Wars/Lucasfilm, thredUP and the NAACP Image Awards. My work has been featured in Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly (1) (2), Refinery 29, Afropunk (1) (2), Twitter’s Trending Moments, Blavity, StarWars.com and more.
I’m also a portrait photographer and love the red carpet scene: I get to interact with high-profile professionals in Los Angeles, including directors, producers, actors and CEOS! I’m proud to have a blog that has international viewership and I keep my thumb on all things entertainment. View all posts by Joy Ofodu
