First for San Francisco Bay Area: African American Woman Receives Funding for Multi-Media/TV Produc

CEO discovers minority status does not affect ability to receive funding from financial community

[ClickPress, Thu Sep 13 2007] SFP/Spirit Filled Production, Inc. of San Jose, California, announced they recently received funding to launch their expanded 360ºmarketing and full-service multi-media/ TV production agency. Margaret Jackson, SFP CEO is the first African American woman to head such a San Francisco Bay Area organization.

Equipped to provide clients with cost-effective, “one-stop” creative services, SFP started as a sole proprietorship in 2001 “SFP also provides consulting, liaison/agent services, and seminars for mega-churches, corporations, and emerging businesses,” says Tracy List, Jackson’s Executive Assistant.

Although it became apparent that they needed to expand their facilities and capabilities to meet their client’s needs, Jackson was concerned her minority status might affect her ability to receive funding.

When Jackson first approached the financial community she was encouraged by the tremendous help they received. “I was impressed with how they guided us through the process step-by-step,” says Jackson.

Jackson encourages women who want to start their own businesses to do so. Convinced women have a competitive edge in business because of their ability to give attention to detail, to multi-task, yet maintain a global perspective; traits she believes are very important in the media production field.

Jackson says she was fortunate to find her career early in life. Although there are few women executives in the media production arena, more are joining the ranks each day, Jackson has never regretted her decision. “Each day has brought new challenges and great satisfaction.”
