NEW YORK— April 5, 2023 —SourceCode Communications, today announced its selection as the agency of record for two enterprise technology providers. AuthenticID, a leader in authentication and identity verification technology and Nile, a company fostering next-gen connectivity for organizations through offering their enterprise networks as a service.

AuthenticID’s industry-leading platform is used by world leaders in the financial services, telecommunications, government, healthcare sectors and more. The organization brought SourceCode aboard as its AOR in January, hoping to increase brand recognition and increase executive visibility in the saturated fraud prevention sector.

Black History Month- Beyond February
As Black History Month 2023 comes to an official close today, two of our incredible team members took a moment to reflect upon what being a part of the Black community means to them and how it has shaped them into who they are today.
Jessica Bryant- Senior Account Executive
For me, Black History Month is a time to celebrate and give thanks to my community. Growing up in a Caribbean family, I have been surrounded by powerful voices that have pushed me to be confident in myself, my opinions, my values, and perhaps most importantly, where I come from. My grandmother was the embodiment of courage and strength, building the foundation for our family after immigrating from Jamaica. Because of her efforts, I’ve learned to make my own path and pave the way for others to follow.
My family has always been small and mighty, but there was never a moment in which I didn’t experience the unconditional support and love that I needed to get to where I am today by following the path to my dream career. With their influence, I’ve always felt empowered to uplift communities and individuals in need, and extend the same support to those around me to help them reach their goals.
Growing up within my family, and especially in my community, I was taught to uplight, support, and show love to the people in need around me, and that’s something I take with me everywhere I go to extend to those around me at work, in my personal life, and as I pursue my other passions.
Black culture in the U.S is something that we’ve built from the ground up encompassing people and experiences from all areas of the world. Every piece of it, from history and food to music and lifestyle are beautiful examples of the sense of togetherness, love and pride that flourishes in the Black community. I am so proud to be a part of it!
Josiah Chambers-Account Coordinator
Black History Month is a significant time of the year- it’s a time that spotlights the greatest black creators, innovators, entrepreneurs and activists and their achievements. Not everyone can be a chart-topping artist, astronaut, or athlete, but everyone should be made to feel that they can achieve those things; if that’s what their heart desires. I think BHM is a very important month because it reminds the black youth of what is achievable, in a world where they’re too often told what they are and aren’t capable of.
I was fortunate enough, at a young age, to be made aware that I could achieve whatever I wanted to. I was always one of the only Black males in many of my classes from kindergarten through the end of college (outside of my senior year of high school), and rather than feeling discouraged it made me realize that I could attain the same things if not more if I focused and worked hard. Resiliency is a core pillar of the Black community’s history and values, and it’s up to society to continue reminding Black youth of their potential every day, not just in February.

Honoring Black History Month 2023
Black History Month kicked off yesterday- a time to celebrate the countless contributions the Black community has made to our world. Yesterday was also Tyre Nichols' funeral and as we honored his life, it was abundantly clear that we have a long way to go and so much more to learn as a nation. SourceCode Communications and the Diversity Marketing Consortium™ (DMC) stand in solidarity to continue to amplify Black voices and do what we can to bring about change. Our hope is that through better educating ourselves on and engaging with the Black community, we can make the progress we so desperately need.
At SourceCode Communications and the Diversity Marketing Consortium™, we have been introduced to numerous, inspiring Black founders who have made an indelible impact on our world with the products and technology they’ve developed. We’ve had the pleasure and honor of learning from leaders such as Kimiloluwa Fafowora (Gander), Ablorde Ashigbi (4degrees), Swale (Iuncta) and Henri Pierre-Jacques (one of our partners at Harlem Capital)- all of whom are disrupting their respective industries while paying homage to the Black founders who came before them through their innovative spirit.
We are so thrilled to continue on in our celebration during Black History Month; not only through the incredible entrepreneurs and talent we’ve met but also through educating ourselves. We hope all members of our community find their own way to honor the inspiring contributions the Black community has made to our world during this month and beyond.
