Back in April 2022, BIC announced the Media Impact Compact, an unprecedented alliance among the big six media agencies. Dentsu, Havas Media, IPG Media Brands, Omnicom Group, Publicis Media, WPP/GroupM all pledged to support the launch of BIC’s newest track in Media with industry resources, talent development, networking, thought leadership as well as a $300,000 scholarship to fund BIC's first Media Track cohort who entered the BIC Program in Fall 2022. 

This Spring, BIC will graduate its FIRST Media track cohort, fortified by this extra boost from our BIC MIC partners. And it's working!! >> indeed, almost all of them have already secured jobs that utilize what they’ve learned from a BIC MPS degree . Note to talent seekers: still time to recruit or steal before graduation 2024. 

So as the holidays heat up, we’d like to give a big BIC THANKS to our BIC MIC partners. We couldn’t have made such a big splash without you. 

Thanks also to these innovators who’ve helped bring BIC’s fourth track to life: Carole Walker, Jane Lacher, Hermon Ghermay,  Kirk McDonald, Judy Jackson, Kai J. Weidie, Eli Harris, Cara Lewis — too many to mention. 

With gratitude and xox, 

Nancy Tag, BIC Program Director; Claudia Chiqui; Stephana Eghan; Jade Holiday; Michelle Krishnanand; Jason Liu; Valentina Preciado-Bello; Hasib Rashid; Suchi Sherpa; Ikenna Ugwa; Sharese Beharry-Richards; Britney Huston; Qibing Wu
