In 2013, while a student at Morehouse College, Darren Wesley Martin Jr. was named President of The Maroon Tiger Student Media Group, where he solidified the creation of a three-branch student media group comprised of a 115-year newspaper, a broadcast arm (TigerTV), and business (sales/marketing) team, restoring award-winning status, facilitating a self-funded office renovation and producing an issue that garnered over 500,000+ views and attention from 40+ media outlets. He also launched his creative and digital agency Streamlined Media in 2012, with training and certification by MarTech platforms such as HubSpot, Facebook and more. After his 2014 IRTS Fellowship in New York working with Simulmedia and graduating Morehouse College in 2015, he and I met and MediaVillage immediately hired Darren as Director of Audience Development and Digital Media Analytics. After an almost two-year stint in that role, Darren's entrepreneurial foundation led him back to the vision he had cultivated at Morehouse to launch and lead Streamlined Media & Communications and Bold Culture in 2016, both of which define the Black-owned marketing and media companies that Byron Allen so passionately advocates for in his Legends & Leadership conversation: Standing Up to the Storms of Change.
