Ad schools startups are popping up all over the map today. It’s like a meme, or something.
John Boiler, a founder and president of 72 and Sunny says, “It’s a reaction to an urgent need.”
According to The New York Times, 72 and Sunny plans to start an internal communications school, 72U, which will offer 10 months of projects, coursework and hands-on learning for tuition of around $10,000. Classes begin in July.
“We’re trying to build the kind of people who would flourish in our company,” Mr. Boiler said, “people who will be effective, well-rounded marketers.”
