The S4 Fellowship Program: Empowering the Next Generation of Industry Leaders

Who We Welcome

Our program has its roots in recruiting exceptional graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). While we maintain a strong commitment to HBCU graduates, we are thrilled to expand our reach to include graduates from other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). We are committed to providing opportunities for early-career professionals looking to grow their expertise and develop the skills needed to thrive in advertising and marketing.

The Fellowship Experience

The S4 Fellowship Program is an immersive journey that accelerates professional growth through hands-on experience and mentorship. Fellows rotate across various teams, gaining exposure to different areas of marketing, creative, and technology services. They collaborate on major projects, work closely with industry professionals, and receive structured training to build a strong foundation for their careers. This approach ensures that each Fellow gains a comprehensive understanding of the business and its evolving landscape.

What it Means to Be a Fellow

Being a Fellow is similar to an apprenticeship—an opportunity for recent graduates and early-career professionals to gain full-time, entry-level experience while engaging in a structured development program. Fellows take on meaningful work across critical projects, client initiatives, campaigns, and productions, ensuring that their experience is dynamic, comprehensive, and impactful. While every Fellow’s journey is unique, the program is designed to provide a deep understanding of the evolving industry landscape.

Whether they continue their careers within our company or explore new opportunities, Fellows leave the program with the expertise and confidence to make a lasting impact in the field.
