REPOST from @MyCodeMedia. #ProectBlack portfolio company @MyCodeMedia has a new look! Have you seen it yet? We’re so excited to watch this business evolve while adhering to its mission of translating cultural intelligence into consumer connections built to last. #ShareAriel *** New Look. Same Mission ✨ We’ve got a bold new visual identity, one that moves with culture, just like we do. From a dynamic motion-driven design system to a color palette that reflects the duality of identity, every element was created with intention. Even our logo shifts across different stories and spaces, symbolizing how we help brands show up authentically in diverse cultural contexts. What hasn’t changed: our mission. We’re still here to shape the future of media, champion culture-forward storytelling, and help brands show up authentically. Culture moves fast. My Code is moving even faster - and this is just the beginning. #MyCode #BrandIdentity #MyCode #CultureSpeaksMyCodeListens #GrowthAudiences

Thank you to @DhaniJones of Granite Creek Capital Partners for moderating this timely discussion. #ShareAriel

Co-Founder Mellody Hobson joined the @CSIS podcast, “Smart Women, Smart Power,” hosted by CSIS International Security Program Director Kathleen McInnis.
