In 1967, Bill "William" Sharp founded and instructed the “Basic Ad Course,” an American Association of Advertising Agencies–sponsored program that prepared minorities for professional careers in advertising. Sharp wrote and published a document entitled, How to Be Black and Get a Job in the Advertising Business Anyway. 45 years later, the Marcus Graham Project and The Sharp Family, bring this agency primer back to life with this interactive version. 100% of the proceeds of the purchase of this app benefit the Bill Sharp Award, a scholarship created by JWT and the Marcus Graham Project to recognize upcoming leaders in the advertising and marketing business.
