Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Black-owned and operated, REVOLT is a media outfit founded in 2013 by none other than Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. Prior to the official launch of REVOLT, Keith Clinkscales was approached by Combs with one specific task in mind: to launch an independent network that would make major waves in cable television history. And that’s exactly what Clinkscales achieved as Chief Executive Officer of REVOLT Media & TV, during its most formative years. Playing an active role in the formation of strong creative teams within the outfit, the media CEO and seasoned serial entrepreneur fostered an environment that encouraged innovation and sincere strategy. At this capacity, the CEO spearheaded REVOLT’s impact on media overall, maintaining full accountability for all facets of the brand’s financial performance as well as negotiating key agreements with heavy-hitters in the cable network industry, like Time Warner Cable, Comcast Xfinity, Verizon FiOS, CenturyLink and AT&T U-verse.
Directly involved in all aspects of REVOLT Media & TV’s infancy, Keith Clinkscales truly built the outfit from the ground up. The experience would prove incredibly valuable; not only for Clinkscales and his career, but for the Black community at large. Today, REVOLT is a staple in the modern hip hop community, as well as Urban contemporary music and culture overall. Clinkscales has solidified himself as a respected cultural thought leader through his work with REVOLT, which he embraces as existing as so much more than a vessel for music promotion. From day one, Clinkscales has viewed REVOLT as what it is: not just a music network on cable TV, but a media outlet that showcases stories that matter in the Black community — in real time.
