Saatva<\/strong><\/a> welcomed students from Queens Business Technology Early College High School<\/strong><\/a> (BTECH) to its Flatiron Viewing Room<\/strong><\/a> following a seven-week mentorship program focused on marketing, creativity, and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working independently and alongside Saatva mentors, participating students developed original marketing campaigns from concept through presentation, gaining hands-on experience in strategy, branding, communication, and creative storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program culminated with final presentations delivered to Saatva leadership<\/strong><\/a>, including Founder and CEO Ron Rudzin<\/strong><\/a>, showcasing thoughtful campaign development, polished execution, and strong creative perspectives from each student participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day concluded with a celebratory lunch and certificate ceremony at Chief, recognizing the students\u2019 accomplishments and growth throughout the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese students brought tremendous creativity, curiosity, and professionalism to every stage of the program,\u201d said Casey Jones<\/strong><\/a>, Director of Paid Media at Saatva. \u201cWatching their confidence grow over the past several weeks was incredibly rewarding, and we\u2019re proud to help create opportunities that expose young people to careers in marketing and business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe level of originality and strategic thinking these students demonstrated was remarkable,\u201d said Byron Golub<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Vice President of Product & Merchandising at Saatva. \u201cPrograms like this are about more than career exposure \u2014 they\u2019re about helping students realize the value of their ideas and voices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis experience gave students the opportunity to see themselves in professional creative environments and understand what\u2019s possible for their future,\u201d added Bethany Huang<\/strong><\/a>, Project Manager at Saatva. \u201cTheir presentations reflected real dedication, collaboration, and talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is part of Saatva\u2019s Professional Dreamer\u2122 Initiative<\/strong><\/a>, which focuses on supporting educational access, mentorship, and career development opportunities for the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
