We wish you a happy holiday season as we celebrate a wonderful year of innovation, growth and learning!
This month, we are announcing two major milestones: A professional certification program unlike any other and a new center supporting entrepreneurship and innovation in the Appalachian Highlands. These successes are further proof of our region's world-class capabilities, and the collaboration and passion behind these projects are truly inspiring.
Thank you for your continued support of the ETSU Research Corporation, and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!
We are extremely excited to announce the Brand Storytelling Brand Film Certification! This 100% online professional certification is taught by industry leaders connected to Brand Storytelling’s world-class network of professionals in media, production, marketing, advertising, culture and entertainment.
Powered by the ETSU Research Corporation, the certification will appeal to industry professionals and recent college graduates looking to better understand the intersection of business, brand and film. The first Brand Storytelling Certification cohort begins Jan. 31, 2022, with five additional cohorts launching later in the year.
Congratulations to Research Corporation CMO Stephen Marshall on spearheading this industry partnership with Brand Storytelling. He will also attend Sundance Film Festival this January in Park City, Utah, to announce the certification program with a team of ETSU representatives.
