Know Yourself Know Your Worth: Demanding Creative Control and Fair Contracting with Big Brands
Apr 06, 2023 Season 2 Episode 14
Got This in Black

When we first launched Got This in Black? We stuck it to big brands, like Target and Moschino, for vague, unsubstantial and sometimes nonexistent commitments to Black consumers. Have they made some progress, maybe. But what we really want to get into this episode is the concept of intentionality and care in big brand and Black creative relationships. 

The bottom line: Team work makes the dream work. But how that dream is curated and executed is another thing. Big brands need dope Black creatives to infuse the sauce into the company that allows them to attract and maintain their customers. But how do you make sure you are properly paid and what rate should you be looking for? We talk about all that and more in our discussion with visual artist, Adrienne Gaither.
