the celebration

LAVENDER HILL is our annual anniversary gala that celebrates an idea inspired by a film that has now emerged into a non-profit social enterprise seeking to change the face of the media, marketing and advertising industry. The aim of this exclusive and unique affair is to bring further exposure to the ever-growing, powerful evolution of a new generation of advertising, marketing, and media professionals. Additionally, the event will invite all of our students over the past few years for a reunion luncheon with board members and special invited guests. In August 2007 in the city of Chicago, MGP was created. Five years later, the Dallas-based organization has evolved to a membership base of over 800 around the country, a successful summer training program that has landed a majority of its graduates their first jobs at some of the country’s top companies.
