Getting Off The Ground

Interested in launching your own business? We will be speaking with Ahmad Islam and Sherman Wright, founders of commonground marketing about entrepreneurship in the advertising and marketing industry. commonground was created in 2004 by Sherman Wright and Ahmad Islam. What prompted them both to leave executive positions at prominent Chicago agencies was simple: the passion to fill a significant void in the agency space.
