Actor Issa Rae to Headline Content Marketing World 2024

CMWorld is in an all-new location this October in San Diego, CA

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Content Marketing Institute (CMI) announces that Emmy-nominated actor, writer, and producer Issa Rae will take the keynote stage at Content Marketing World 2024. CMWorld, the largest gathering of content marketers on the planet, is in an all-new location, San Diego, CA, October 21-23.

Rae first rocketed to fame with her viral, award-winning YouTube series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl and her accompanying 2015 New York Times best-selling memoir. She then went on to create and star in the Peabody-award-winning HBO show, Insecure, which received multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. She’s also known for her role as President Barbie in the 2023 global phenomenon Barbie movie as well as other big screen roles in The Photograph, The Lovebirds, and American Fiction.

Additionally, Rae is part of a new launch designed to bring more equity to the creator economy. Called Ensemble, the branded entertainment studio aims to connect diverse talented and influential creators with brands, platforms, and publishers. Rae also created a multifaceted media company, HOORAE, to amplify Black and other underrepresented voices in media. HOORAE develops content across many mediums – including film, TV, digital, and music – that continues to break boundaries in storytelling and representation. Through HOORAE, Rae expanded her executive producer credits with the Emmy-nominated A Black Lady Sketch Show and the fan-favorite series, Rap SH*T.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Issa Rae to the Content Marketing World stage,” shares Stephanie Stahl, general manager, Content Marketing Institute. “With her authentic storytelling style fueled by her infectious humor and unique perspective, Rae excels at crafting narratives that influence culture and deeply resonate with audiences. We can’t wait for her to share her journey from a YouTube pioneer to celebrated writer, actor, and producer with our passionate audience of writers, strategists, creators, and marketers.”

Rae will take the stage on Wednesday, October 23, at Content Marketing World 2024 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.
