Meet Chester W. Sharp | Founder & Creative Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chester W. Sharp and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chester W., can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process, in the beginning, was simple – I wanted to create events that would bring people together centered around good food and music. I was coming out of a difficult time, and it was a pivotal moment in my life. I wanted to do something I was good at and loved, which was events.

After doing a few events, I wanted something more sustainable. I decided to apply the same principles I used for promoting events to promoting businesses, which led to the birth of the Sharp Creative Agency in 2015.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Sharp Creative Agency is a full-service marketing firm with an in-house production team with locations in Atlanta, GA, and Chattanooga, TN, with expansions underway in Washington, DC. Sharp Creative provides innovative, authentic marketing/branding services with impeccable execution and exceptional customer service.

What sets our agency apart is our team. We are a collection of people from different backgrounds with unique experiences. Our diversity influences the way we approach marketing and branding. We understand how the marketplace is changing, and we use our unique perspective to help our clients reach their target consumers.

We are most excited about our latest projects, the Uncorked Conversations Podcast, the BMW Influencers Campaign, and our original content.

We’ve experienced many ups and downs during the journey. Our takeaways are never to give up no matter how challenging things get, surround yourself with the right people, and commit to getting better every day.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
