Because when it’s normalized, you can see it. And when you can see it, you can be it. That is a generational legacy that is bigger than advertising. Not another coastal agency. An Atlanta agency. We are founded in the ATL, where the minority is the majority. Where local culture profoundly influences global pop culture. Where the Hollywood of the South collides with the Silicon Valley of the South. Atlanta culture drives black culture, which drives pop culture, which is America’s greatest renewable resource and global export. Not mediums deciding the best ideas. Ideas deciding the best medium. We ignite diverse lived experiences into cultural disruption that can take many forms, including: advertising, strategic planning, digital, branded entertainment, design, product innovation, experiences, art and activism. Our only agenda is that the best idea wins. (Yea this is a lot of site copy, thanks for persevering.)
