How We’re Helping the Next Generation Master Digital Marketing: Inside True Digital’s Workshop at Prairie View A&M University

October 7, 2025

At True Digital Marketing, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are. Through our community impact program, True Digital Cares, our team donates time and expertise to help students, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits gain real-world marketing knowledge they can use to grow and thrive.


One of our recent initiatives took us to Prairie View A&M University, where our team was invited to lead a Corporate Learning Lab focused on mastering digital marketing strategies. Hosted by the university’s Department for Careers and Professional Development (DCAPD), the session brought together students from across disciplines who were eager to understand what digital marketing looks like in practice.


Bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world application

During the session, our own Shon Tillman guided students through the key components of today’s digital marketing landscape—brand development, content strategy, SEO, analytics, and campaign optimization. The workshop emphasized not just tools and tactics, but also the mindset needed to succeed in an industry that changes daily.

 

Students explored how to identify their audience, craft meaningful content, and interpret data to make smarter marketing decisions. More importantly, they learned that success in marketing requires creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability.


Hands-on learning with impact

This wasn’t a lecture—it was an interactive experience. Students worked together to analyze brands, develop mini-strategies, and discuss how storytelling connects with measurable results. The energy in the room reflected PVAMU’s commitment to equipping students with both knowledge and confidence as they prepare to enter competitive industries.



Why this work matters

For True Digital, these moments are what the True Digital Cares initiative is all about—using our platform to open doors for students who are ready to build their futures. Digital marketing is one of the most powerful tools in business today, and by sharing our expertise, we hope to help students see how their creativity and technical skills can translate into real career opportunities.

 

We’re proud to support Prairie View A&M University and HBCUs across Texas in preparing the next generation of professionals for success.

For Houston businesses, ranking on Google Maps is no longer optional — it’s essential. The Google Maps 3-Pack (the top three listings under the map) drives most of the calls, website visits, and directions requests when customers search “near me.” If you’re a Houston attorney, a home service provider, a medical practice, or a local restaurant, showing up in that 3-Pack means more business. The challenge is that competition is fierce. Every business in Houston wants visibility, but not all are optimizing for it. That’s where SEO marketing in Houston comes in. By focusing on local SEO tactics, you can push your Google Business Profile higher in search results, earn more clicks, and generate consistent leads. Here are seven proven steps to improve your Google Maps SEO in Houston.

Let’s be honest, Houston is a jungle. When you’re a small business, from a family-owned restaurant to a new law firm, you’re up against some seriously tough competition. And these days, if you’re not showing up online, you might as well not exist. Your website isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s usually the first impression you make. It’s where a potential customer decides, "Do I trust this company, or should I just go to the next guy?" So, what’s the first thing most business owners ask us? "How much does a new website cost here in Houston?" The tricky part is, there's no single answer. The price really depends on what you need. How many bells and whistles, how complicated the site is, and how much custom work you're looking for. This guide will help you get a handle on the typical price tags, what actually drives those costs, and why it's a good idea to work with someone right here in our city.
