Anika Jackson

I strive to create ecosystems where technology, education, and philanthropy converge to address global challenges. As founder of the Your Brand Amplified®, marketing consultancy, my business podcast ranks in the top 1.5% globally and top 100 on Apple Podcasts in Marketing across multiple countries. At USC's Annenberg School, I shape future communicators as faculty for the MS in Digital Media Management program, creator of the Podcasting for Brand Building elective, and co-host/producer of the Mediascape podcast. As Executive Director at ICL Foundation, I drive initiatives for passion-based education and civic leadership. My industry leadership spans Intuit's Small Business Council, advisory roles with startups like Olivia Education and Flowsend.ai, and membership in the International Academy for Digital Arts and Sciences as a Webby Awards judge. I contribute thought leadership to organizations from tech startups to nonprofits globally. Currently pursuing an MBA at Villanova with AI/ML and Marketing specializations, I hold an undergraduate degree in public administration. When not advancing my professional endeavors, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family, especially my partner, daughter and fur babies. I am working towards creating greater impact at the intersection of technology and social good, empowering individuals to become catalysts for meaningful change through innovative communication strategies and educational advancement.
