Marketing Advisor

Morgan Peterson

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, 26-year-old Morgan Peterson has always made it her sole purpose in life to “put her people on”. With a B.S. in Journalism from Ohio University and past experience in the entertainment and editorial industries, this path led her to a career in advertising. While working in the creative department at Edelman, one of the world’s leading advertising agencies, she has been on the teams that are behind some of the most innovative and inspiring campaigns. From Dove’s work with The CROWN Act to partnering with Shonda Rhimes for International Day of The Girl, her keen eye for creativity and drive to uplift the Black community has been the backbone of her work. 

In addition to advertising, she recognized that there was still a lack of positive stories being told about Black people. Through her love for writing and art direction, Morgan created Saturday School –  a platform that features young Black professionals and their side hustles. Over the course of three years Morgan has shared over 30 interviews plus curated events that help to uplift and inspire the Black community.
