Marcus Graham Project
The Marcus Graham Project assists minority students prepare for, and find, careers in the advertising industry. Their mission, and theory, is that by investing in the exposure, training and mentorship of the next generation of talent, they will see a return in the development of a vast talent pool of marketplace leaders in media and marketing.
They launched with 7 participants. Since then the program has garnered an incredible amount of attention both in the media, the industry and amongst current and future professionals and expanded to Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.
July '17 was their 10 year anniversary where, at the Oprah Ballroom in Washington DC, we premiered a video celebrating their past accomplishments and vision for the future.

2017 marked the anniversary of the Marcus Graham Project, an organization that prepares minorities for a successful career in the advertising industry. Given the current climate, we felt it important to re-discover the necessity and impact of organizations such as this. What we found was a story of awareness, acceptance and essentially the human condition.
