Digitaria, a leading digital marketing and technology agency has just begun a partnership with Grammy Award-winning musician and writer Alicia Keys on her most recent endeavor, I Am A Superwoman (IAAS.com). With the mission of utilizing content to empower women, Digitaria will help Alicia Keys create a site that aims to connect women with one another, continuing the inspiration Keys learned from her mother and grandmother.

“I just want to continue that legacy, you know, of compassion, and of service, and of really being like someone that people can relate to, and can understand and say, ‘You know what? She’s just like me. And if she can do it, I can do it,’” Keys said. ” And we can all kind of figure this out.”

In order to fulfill the site’s goal, IAAS.com needed a Head Blogger to be the voice of the site to create and maintain inspiring content. To fill this prestigious position, AK Worldwide, Keys’ company, conducted a nationwide job search. Entering into a co-branded partnership with Monster.com, the campaign leveraged the Monster Job Search Engine and Resume Submission Services. (Read more… )

After closing out the North American leg of her “Freedom” tour over the weekend, Alicia Keys is already planning her next moves, which may include a re-release of her latest album. “We have been having conversations and talks about that,” Keys exclusively told Rap-Up.com when asked if a re-release of her fourth effort The Element of Freedom was in the future. “That’s still a conversation at this point, but it’s looking like it will happen.”

The Grammy winner said she would like to “add some incredible new songs and collaborations onto the re-release,” one of those potentially being a remix to her new single “Un-thinkable (I’m Ready).” Just last week, Keys revealed to Rap-Up.com that she was delaying her “Put It in a Love Song” video with Beyoncé to release the Drake-assisted single. She is also set to film a video for the record this week in Los Angeles with director Jake Nava. The Element of Freedom debuted at No. 2 when it was released in December and has since gone platinum in the United States.
