ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Keith Wooten is
Director of Original Programming at BET Networks.
Since 2013, Keith has worked in four areas of Original Programming –
Development and Current Programming, as
well as Scripted and Reality/Alternative
Programming. Some of the shows he has overseen include
SUNDAY BEST, the #1 TV Gospel series for the past seven
years; NELLYVILLE, starring Grammy award-winning rapper,
entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man Nelly;
IT’S A MANN’S WORLD, starring gospel’s favorite couple,
David and Tamela Mann, and APOLLO LIVE, the legendary
theater’s amateur talent completion. On the development front, Keith
also created the title for BET’s hit drama, BEING MARY JANE,
starring Gabrielle Union, and he has a number of shows in development, some of
which will be revealed soon.
Keith is a Los Angeles native, but he
left the city for 15 years to attend college and get his start in the
entertainment business. While a freshman in college at Clark Atlanta
University he began interning in the music business and eventually landed an
assistant position in the Video Production and Marketing Departments at
LaFace Records, a record label owned by LA
Reid and Kenny “Babyface”
Edmonds.
After working at LaFace for several
years, he then moved into film and music video production at Strange
Fruit Films for two years. As fate would have it, Keith
ended up regaining his marketing position, working for LA Reid at
Arista Records. From 2002 to 2010, Keith went from
Marketing Assistant to Director, working with renowned record labels, such as
Jive/Zomba, Virgin/Capitol, Def
Jam, and Bad Boy Records. Over the
course of his music career he has managed the marketing of albums for recording
artists such as Usher, Outkast,
TLC, Pink, Ciara, and
Janet Jackson.
After experiencing the effects of the
music industry’s downward spiral due to piracy, Keith decided to leave the
music business and segue into television, his other true passion.
However, this transition would not be so simple. He
literally had to start over from the bottom as an assistant in Original
Programming. Never afraid of an achievable challenge, Keith used his
ability to think creatively, foster teamwork and maximize interdepartmental
efficiency in order to become the “go to guy” for all of the creative
and developmental answers within the Original Programming department.
After two years of assisting two senior level executives, he mastered
the job functions within Original Programming, and became a creative and
development executive.
