Marcia Campbell

PRESIDENT, CO-FOUNDER

Marcia Campbell is Co-Founder of both Kulturezine Media and Kulturezine Studios as well As President of that Studios, an Emmy-nominated Producer who has worked as a Showrunner/Co-Executive Producer for over 10 years.  She has learned her hand to a variety of non-scripted projects: reality, comedy, magazine, design-based, and a show supported by viewer-created content submissions.
She started her career with the wildly popular magazine-based shows, “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and “Star Search”.  Her hard work and determination landed her a spot at ABC. There she met Larina Adamson (“The Simpsons”) who was very impressed with Marcia’s work and became her mentor.  From that point on, Marcia began working with Hollywood heavyweights and was amongst royalty learning it all.  Her hard work paid off when the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself when BET asked her to come in-house and work on the well-known but controversial standup comedy show, “Comic View” that was waning in its appeal. Determined to succeed, Marcia welcomed the challenge to revamp the franchise and she became the youngest Showrunner at BET Networks managing a multimillion-dollar budget.  The results were astounding, Marcia breathed new life into a dying dinosaur by adding new elements and energy to a well-established-in-one season she increased ratings by 34%! Repacking an established brand is a fine art-Marcia brought in new hosts, dancers, music and took the show on the road.  In a single season, she revived “Comic View” back to its glorified Network Flagship status.  To this date, her reputation and rating history for a stand-out stellar season has not been broken since leaving the network.  She still has the highest-rated shows/seasons that BET has ever seen.
Since leaving BET, she has consulted on a series for Nelson Davis Productions and was nominated for an Emmy in 2006. She oversaw and consulted on the launch of a viewer-created content/on-air series “Your LA” for NBC.  Most recently, she Co-Executive produced a reality show starring Laila Ali, entitled “Maternity Calls” and she just completed her first full-length feature.  “She’s Got a Plan” is an independent dramedy Co-Starring; Charles Malik Whitfield, Paula Jai Parker, Golden Brooks, Faizon Love, and introducing Fatima Washington.
Currently, Marcia is the  VP of Kulturezine Media Interactive LLC. & President of Co-Founder of Kulterzine Studios an independent entertainment co-op of seasoned professionals from all areas of entertainment.  Our mission is to create the next level of Urban Entertainment.  We are currently in development on multiple scripted, nonscripted, projects, also graphic novels and music.
