WHO WE ARE

At Pop’N, our competitive advantage is that we are one of the few Black women-owned, multicultural marketing agencies servicing the entertainment industry. In a white male-dominated space, where women drive pop culture’s megahits and Black culture drives pop culture, we fully step into our magic✨.

We live and die for pop culture, stay obsessed with all things social and TikTok, talk in memes and love producing creative, content and experiences that pop on Beyoncé’s internet. If you’re a dynamic personality, love to work hard/play hard and want to stretch the limits of your creativity with awesome entertainment, retail and tech clients, then keep reading!

We don’t have a formal program or initiative to support DEI in the creative process. We’re inclusive by DNA. We live and breathe this every day from our employees to our partners, who come from all different backgrounds and speak several, different languages.
