‼️ Registration is required for this event ‼️

Mississippi State's brand has gone VIRAL - from TikToks racking up thousands of likes to attention-grabbing marketing campaigns, the university is gaining notoriety in the higher ed comms realm. Next month, we invite you to meet the fearless leader of MSU's recent storytelling success - Thomas Broadus, CMO within the university's award-winning Office of Public Affairs. 🏫🗣️

A proud Coast native, Broadus began his career developing campaigns for leading businesses across the Gulf Coast before bringing his creative vision to Mississippi State. Since joining MSU, he has driven bold storytelling campaigns, launched the university’s digital transformation initiative, and led Mississippi State to the top of the SEC in social media engagement and reach. 🏅

His session will take a behind-the-scenes look at how MSU's Office of Public Affairs evolved the university’s voice through bolder visuals, edgier campaigns, and a renewed willingness to embrace both challenges and triumphs - all accomplished by leaning into MSU's authenticity and amplifying the university's cultural identity. 🙌

This is our LAST program of 2025, so we'd love for you to close out the year with us!

Marshall shared his story on how he went from a high school custodian to an award-winning editorial cartoonist, author and public speaker and the many changes and challenges he has faced in the journalism world. His journey is truly inspiring, and we loved learning about his life and career experiences. 🎨🎓📚
