The Company

Built to last longer than any single performance.

Company Overview

From career to company.

After two decades across film, comedy, television, and live performance, Brandon T. Jackson built BTJ Inc. as an operating company to scale creative work, production infrastructure, and long-term community impact.

BTJ University

Industry meets talent

Brandon T. Jackson has spent over two decades navigating film sets, comedy stages, and production rooms — learning the lessons that no traditional institution teaches. BTJ University was built to change that. It is an educational streaming platform designed specifically for aspiring actors, comedians, and entertainers who want professional-grade mentorship without the gatekeeping of conventional programs.

The curriculum draws directly from real-world industry experience — scene work, character development, stand-up technique, the business of auditioning, and how to sustain a career once you break through. Every course is grounded in what actually works on set, on stage, and behind the camera.

BTJ's Big Taste Joint

Bold flavor. Real community.

BTJ's Big Taste Joint is a full-service burger restaurant built on a simple conviction: food should be unapologetically good, and every table should feel like a gathering. The menu centers on burgers that arrive hot, sizzling, and made with the kind of care that turns an ordinary meal into something worth coming back for.

More than a restaurant, Big Taste Joint is designed as a neighborhood anchor — a place where community tables, bold flavor, and BTJ Inc.'s deeper commitment to local investment come together under one roof. Each location is built to hire locally, source thoughtfully, and feel like it was made for the community it feeds.
