Liftoff to Planet Mogul

Connecting today’s minority students with tomorrow’s business opportunities has been the vision of Rohena Miller, founder of Planet Mogul, for a number of years. Today this insightful online portal has become a reality by providing something for everyone interested in building the next generation of entrepreneurs, business executives and world leaders.

Planet Mogul is an exciting new online mentoring and networking platform designed to help the young minority professional in a one-stop environment to learn about educational opportunities scholarships, businesses, investments, career opportunities and more. Members can create and share profiles, connect with corporations, view educational clips from seasoned entrepreneurs, executives and moguls, and participate in the “Mogul Makeover” contest. In short, Planet Mogul gives young minority students the educational tools to prepare themselves for a bright future and connect with others who have a proven track record.

“Planet Mogul is our bridge to the future,” Miller said. “We provide young professionals the tools to direct, improve and develop. In addition we provide a link for our corporate members to find the finest candidates to meet their hiring needs and the youth market to purchase their products and services.”

Designed, developed and implemented 100 percent by minority entrepreneurs and students, Planet Mogul is quickly becoming the destination for young minority professionals and corporate human resource personnel to connect. Planet Mogul attracts the 15-29 yearold urban/multicultural consumers — trendsetters for much of today’s fashion, music, food, autos and more. Demographics indicate that their purchasing power will only continue to grow and influence the youth population as a whole. This spill-over effect bodes well for businesses looking for innovative methods to reach this powerful population base.

The “Moguls on the Move Tour,” scheduled for cities, college campuses and universities next year, will bring Planet Mogul to thousands of youth around the country. The tour includes games, music, gift bags and contests centered in locations close to student life. “Moguls on the Move Tour” will connect with Greeks, social and chamber organizations, student unions, college campuses and more to spread the word about the value of a new planet — Planet Mogul.

“Planet Mogul is an exciting method to use today’s technologies to reach the youth market,” said Joseph Hill, executive vice president, strategic sourcing executive, supplier diversity, Bank of America. “We like the idea of being able to speak and develop name recognition with the urban youth market. These young people will be our customers in the very near future, and we can begin today to develop a link. Planet Mogul gives us the opportunity to connect on a grassroots level for a longer and more satisfying relationship.”
