With support from the California Arts Council, Represent Collaborative will provide pro bono PR, marketing, photography, video, graphic design, and published editorial to at least 6 Black-owned business or racial justice organizations per year, executed with diverse creative teams made up of at least 50% paid Black creatives.
Represent Collaborative offers pro bono PR, marketing, photography, graphic design, editorial and more to Black-owned businesses, racial justice organizations and nonprofits. We creatively and transparently collaborate with our subjects to dismantle the traditional inequitable power structures inherent in traditional media. We then partner with mainstream media outlets to distribute these new stories to mass audiences. Through our unique wealth redistribution model — all our non-Black contributors donate their time and talent so we are able to competitively pay Black creators for their work — we are able to build truly diverse creative teams. Represent Collaborative contributors get connected to world-shifting, inspiring sources and fellow creators, and learn how to tell stories in a new way.
