| Abstract | Advertising executive Marian Cullers was born in 1927, in Webster Grove, Missouri. She graduated from Douglas High School then attended Lincoln University. She transferred to the University of Illinois at Champaign in 1945, where she graduated with her B.A. degree. In 1946, Cullers married Vince Cullers, a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute and apprentice at Kling Studios. In 1947, they opened an advertising art studio. After being rejected by mainstream agencies, they opened up their own Vince Cullers Advertising Agency, Inc., the first black advertising agency in the United States. Catering to the African American market, the agency's first national client was the Lorillard Tobacco Company, and they designed ads for their Newport cigarettes. They also did the Johnson Products Company's Afro-Sheen product line in 1968. Cullers was promoted to administrative vice president of the agency. In 2002, Cullers and her husband retired. |
