The Yaffe Digital Media Initiative explores how industries are being reimagined and disrupted by digital media. The initiative's dynamic programming, which includes a high-profile speakers series, prepares our students and community to operate in the new digital economy.
Gain inspiration from those at the forefront of digital media in our Yaffe Speaker Series, and find tools you can use to set yourself up for success through our Good Fridays workshops.
The Yaffe Speaker Series
Get authentic, unfiltered perspectives from the savvy business leaders who are rewriting the rules of business, by leveraging the power of digital media — and learn more about what it means for business. Previous speakers include the former chief marketing officer of Buzzfeed and Pepsi, and the former general manager of Beyonce's production company.
Good Fridays Workshops
Learn directly from some of the leading experts in digital media in this interactive workshop series, which consists of both a lecture and a case challenge. Good Fridays workshops welcome a hand-picked selection of business leaders who operate across the evolving media landscape.
