THE BIRTH OF A NATION

TALENT / EXPERT POSITIONING

Placing the Story Where Influence Already Lives

OUR TASK

CNBetter Media was engaged to support The Birth of a Nation through strategic expert positioning and high-impact event integrations designed to reach influential African American audiences where culture, leadership, and community converge.

Rather than traditional press outreach, our mandate focused on placing the film—and its core themes of resistance, faith, and Black liberation—inside the most trusted, influential, and attended Black-led institutions and convenings nationwide. These audiences included civic leaders, faith communities, journalists, sorority leadership, academics, and cultural tastemakers whose endorsement and word-of-mouth influence would drive awareness and urgency ahead of the film’s release.

OUR SOLUTION

CNBetter Media executed a multi-layered, culturally fluent integration strategy that embedded The Birth of a Nation into the programming, conversations, and stages of major African American conferences, conventions, and festivals across the country.

Expert Positioning & On-Stage Integrations

We strategically positioned film talent and subject-matter experts to:

Each appearance was intentionally framed to connect the film’s narrative to the mission and values of the hosting organization, ensuring relevance and resonance rather than disruption.

Major Conferences & Cultural Convenings Activated

CNBetter Media integrated The Birth of a Nation into:

Across these moments, we coordinated:

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. – National Membership Integration

As an added layer of influence, CNBetter Media aligned with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s National Arts & Letters Commission to feature The Birth of a Nation in their national membership newsletter under the “Delta Red Carpet Films” section.

This placement delivered direct visibility to one of the most powerful, educated, and civically engaged Black women’s organizations in the world, extending the film’s reach far beyond traditional marketing channels.

OUR RESULTS

This strategy demonstrated the power of meeting audiences where culture, faith, leadership, and influence already live—turning events into advocacy engines and conversation catalysts for the film.
