Trailblazer, Icon, Public Servant, PRSA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and Civic Leader are just some of the words to describe the extraordinary life of William Bill Rouselle “Mr. Bill,” and we’re deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was a pioneer in journalism, PR and marketing, who broke countless barriers throughout his career. Team Spears sends our condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and all those who were touched by Bill over the years.

It’s hard to believe Spears Group was founded 16 years ago today (time flies when you’re having fun!). Our founder, Cleveland, started the company in 2008 as a young Black man hoping to provide opportunities for other diverse young professionals to succeed in our industry and grew Spears Group into one of the most respected marketing agencies in the Greater New Orleans area. As we look back on our journey these last 16 years, we thank all the members of Team Spears–past and present–who have helped build the company into the success it is today 🎂 🎉

It was a busy #EssenceFestival weekend for #TeamSpears! First, we led the planning and execution of the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine’s special panel discussion with national medical professionals and local experts from Ochsner Health moderated by Angela Rye & Dr. Courtney Arianne Washington. Nearly 300 people attended the event to learn more about “Why Diversity in Medicine Matters” and the newly-announced XOCOM, which is set to be the only #HBCU medical school in the Gulf South when it opens. Next up, we worked closely alongside our client W.K. Kellogg Foundation to produce the #IamNewOrleans panel on the Global Black Economic Forum stage. The panel, titled “What To Do When You Can’t Be Loud Enough,” featured Ashley Shelton, Executive Director of the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice, and Janai Wilson, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and stay tuned for more on both of these exciting and impactful projects!

It's been a minute, but we're super excited to re-launch our #JAMonday spotlight series with an incredible group of Summer 2024 Junior Associates! First up, meet Sarah Silbert—a New Jersey native and incoming senior at Tulane University. Sarah is pursuing a B.S.M. in Marketing with minors in Legal Studies in Business and Studio Art with a focus in photography. And if that wasn't enough, she also serves as the Public Relations Chair for Tulane's business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi, Co-President and one of the founding members of the Tulane Photo Club, and a member of the Tri Delta Sorority. Sarah's creativity, drive, and passion have already made her a huge asset to the #TeamSpears account team, and we're honored to have her with us this summer.
