Hi, I'm Heather Foster, Founder of Media & Marketing Academy
I'm a veteran of the media and marketing world for over 25 years, and a champion of small business.
SERVINGÂ SMALL BUSINESSES
Before the pandemic, I volunteered with SCORE, a division of the SBA that offers expert-level mentorship to small businesses.Â
When the pandemic struck, I was hired by a CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) where I again offered marketing support to small businesses, in the form of 1:1 mentorship and workshops on the topics of marketing, social media/digital marketing, research and business strategy.
My contract ended after COVID was over, but I felt a sense of purpose. I saw an opportunity to help small businesses were especially under-served with marketing. After some brainstorming and lots of hard work, I developed the Media & Marketing Academy.
SERVING STUDENTS
I was an adjunct professor at Temple University and Drexel University, teaching classes to both undergrad and graduate-level students.
I taught various classes in social media, advertising and more.
Teaching was a great experience. As a teacher, I learned how to effectively communicate ideas to others.
SERVINGÂ CORPORATE CLIENTS
Ranging from Fortune 500's, to major healthcare brands, to universities, to startups, I work with many corporations and large organizations on their marketing efforts.
My specialties for these clients include media planning & buying, social media, and digital marketing.
I have worked with large budgets, and have a strong track record of helping these clients grow and achieve amazing goals.
