Who Shelley Stewart, founder and CEO
What Creative agency
Where Birmingham, Ala.
In 1967, radio personality Shelley Stewart decided he wanted to start an ad agency that would work for marketers who advertised on his show. As an African American in civil-rights-era Birmingham, Ala., Stewart knew he needed a partner so he sought out an old friend, Cy Steiner, with whom he formed Steiner Advertising (Steiner was the face, Stewart was the silent partner). Through the years, the shop went through many iterations, ending up in the 1990s as o2ideas and graduating to national brands.
