The DMC was established to provide high-quality marketing resources to startups that may not have access to such services, aiming to support mission driven founders in the ever-changing, competitive business landscape.
A registered 501(c)(3) organization, the DMC is solely focused on shining a light on brands and founders that may not otherwise have access to high-quality public relations and marketing services.
The time for change is now, and long overdue.
"We are entrepreneurs to the bone and DMC allows us to share our expertise with other founders/CEOs that share that passion. PR and tech are two industries that historically lack diversity when you look at founders, VC’s and the PR professionals that support brands inhouse and at agencies. Lots of agencies and organizations have fluffy messages that sound great, but we are never sure what’s actually being done to drive a change. The DMC provides us an opportunity to get hands-on and actually provide PR consultation and support to companies that actually start changing the landscape of these industries."
“We’ve long been appalled by the inequities that exist in and around marketing, public relations and the technology industries. We know most agencies mean well, but we often get in our own way and overthink our approaches to actually doing some good. Thus, we created the Diversity Marketing Consortium. Together with the amazing team at Harlem Capital and our incredible agency partners, we’ve built a platform for agencies to get off the sidelines and do some truly impactful work. Together, we do our part to level the playing field."
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you brought to Compt over the last few months. We are so thankful for our partnership and learnings… You are all truly magic!”
“I tell everyone about Superbolt and the DMC every chance I get, and it's truly heartwarming to see the level of commitment from your team to help us build upon our vision… Thank you so much for your team's time, energy and investment in helping us scale our business! We learned so much throughout the process, which was much more complicated than we could ever imagine.”
"Working with the DMC and its partner agency Racepoint Global gave us a head start with access to resources I wouldn’t otherwise have had. The Racepoint Global team has been a true partner to us throughout our work together and would be a huge asset to any company looking to enhance their PR and communications support. DMC has allowed 4Degrees to work directly with RPG and together we were able to craft messaging and influence a market. Thanks to RPG and DMC, we were able to accomplish so much in a short amount of time!”
"The Diversity Marketing Consortium has been an invaluable partner to Harlem Capital. From prominent media placements to tactical growth marketing strategies, the agencies in the DMC have provided our founders with crucial tools they need to succeed. We're thrilled that DMC hit the $1 milestone worth of pro bono services in a year-and-a-half! But we know this is merely the beginning of our collaboration, as we remain committed to our shared mission of elevating and empowering diverse entrepreneurs.”
“RPG’s core cultural building blocks are authenticity, belonging and compassion. Without a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, these are empty words. Being part of the Diversity Marketing Consortium gives our people an outlet for action and ways to support a new generation of technology entrepreneurs and change makers.”
"It has been an honor working with the DMC the past 18 months. Our founders have benefited greatly from the services and speak highly of the agencies. We are excited to continue expanding the relationship over time.”
The DMC is currently made up of 6 award-winning agencies that offer a variety of marketing and communications services.
We pledge to deliver on our engagements to businesses with the same standards with which we deliver our services to contracted clients. All services will be provided with honesty and transparency, including successes, failures, and scope.
