Mark Levit
CCP
OH, USMark teaches employers how to work with college students/recent grads to "home grow" their next superstars.
Mark Levit is a serial entrepreneur, university professor, an advocate for the emerging generation, a writer, and a trainer.
Mark began his work in education in 1995 at New York University and continued at the University of Miami. He is also a regular guest instructor at the Hofstra University Graduate School of Healthcare Marketing's Intensive MBA for Physicians Program.
At the University of Miami, Mark's focus has been on student workplace skills, as needed to launch student careers successfully after graduation. He is presently writing a book on the topic, preparing a manual for university career centers, and developing online courses.
Until 2007, Levit was the Managing Partner of Partners & Levit Inc., a boutique New York City advertising agency. The agency's client list included a roster of major corporations, including multinationals. A natural teacher, Mark's agency employed several paid college interns each semester who Mark mentored, and many have sought advice even after their graduations.
Mark Levit's career includes management of the B.F. Goodrich Tire Company account for the Griswold-Eshleman Company, a once-prominent Cleveland, OH advertising agency. Recruited to New York, he was responsible for DeBeers Consolidated Mines' campaigns at New York's NW Ayer, after which his career led him to Della Famina, Travisano and Partners where he managed Olympus Camera Corporation's marketing initiatives, among others. After that agency lost it's major accounts, he founded an agency building it to a staff of 22 with diverse accounts including Proctor & Gamble, Random House, AIG (American International Group), Lincoln Logs, Seagram, and many others.
Following several years of guest speaking at New York University, Levit was asked to teach NYU's first-ever course on Internet Marketing. (There was only speculation at the time there would be such a thing as "Internet Marketing.") He had to get creative in educating himself. He became actively involved in the mid-1990s "Dot Com Boom." To teach the class at NYU, he joined the Silicon Valley Association where he met many entrepreneurial graduate students in their mid-20s who had ideas funded by venture capitalists. Mark had to learn from them since there were no textbooks available. He also invited the best to serve as guest speakers at NYU.
He's integrated virtually every communications medium as the result of his broad experience.
The author of many articles for business magazines and a guest on television and radio programs, Mark has been a frequent presenter at professional conferences, has served on the faculties of several universities as well as the Boards of Directors of the Florida Speakers Association, the League of Advertising Agencies and Sales, and Marketing Executives International. He has been a judge of the Radio Mercury Awards. He is also a past member of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the non-profit Center for Entrepreneurial Management and served on the Business Advisory Committee for New York State Assemblyman John Ravitz. He is a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association.
Mark prefers traditional to smooth jazz, is an avid skier favoring Utah's Deer Valley, and he enjoys independent films over blockbuster studio releases. Mark Levit is a graduate of Kent State University from which he reported the 1970 "incident" for ABC News.
