REAL TIMES MEDIA SELECTED FOR THE BRANDED CONTENT PROJECT BOOTCAMP

DETROIT- The Branded Content Project announced Real Times Media (RTM) is among the 33 Black, Indigenous and people of color media outlets selected to participate in the Branded Content Project’s Sales Bootcamp, offering the cohort group an opportunity to receive state-of-the-art sales training to help launch new content marketing products.

As a participant, RTM will undergo training to improve how clients connect with our audience. As a pillared voice of the community, advertisers often look to RTM as a source of information. The bootcamp will better equip RTM to market the needs of those we represent, Black people.  

“The Branded Content Sales Bootcamp is designed to help publishers grow their initiatives with the help of go-to-market strategies,” said Peter Lamb, Bootcamp coach and a 30-year marketing veteran who has worked with some of the world’s largest media companies. “We look forward to working with this group of BIPOC publishers to help sharpen their content marketing experience and maximize their content in a way that is attractive to readers and advertisers.”

“We are thrilled about participating in the Branded Content Bootcamp,” said RTM360 President Tanisha Leonard. “We are always pursuing innovative, revenue-generating practices to service our clients, sponsors, and community. We are looking forward to expanding our knowledge.”
