Life

Caroline Robinson Jones was born in Benton Harbor, Michigan on February 15, 1942. She graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan and went on to work for advertising agencies such as J. Walter Thompson and BBDO. Jones later founded agencies that specialized in minority advertising, making her among the first to do so. She helped found Caroline Jones Advertising, Zebra Associates, and Mingo-Jones,[1] among the first agencies to be created by primarily African American executives and also among the first to focus on minority advertising. [2] Clients of Caroline Jones Advertising included American Express, the National Urban League,[1] and Miller High Life.[3] In 1979, her agency developed the slogan "We Do Chicken Right!" for Kentucky Fried Chicken (now KFC).[1] Jones died of breast cancer in 2001.[1]
