Jackson Spalding Adds Eight New Clients
Multiple Business Sectors Tap Public Relations, Creative Design Services
ATLANTA (October 24, 2006)—In the past three months Jackson Spalding has added eight new clients in the real estate, healthcare, financial services and public affairs sectors.
The Atlanta-based image creation, cultivation and communication firm has been tapped by Aquasis, a water desalination company, for a comprehensive brand identity, web site design, public relations and public affairs campaign. Chesapeake Development, Inc., an Atlanta-area homebuilder known for innovative courtyard designs, and Custom Builders – Atlanta, a division of a national custom builders co-op, have turned to Jackson Spalding for graphic design and public relations assistance.
In northeast Georgia, Jackson Spalding’s rapidly growing Athens office has been hired by Oak Grove for graphic design, advertising and marketing counsel and by Health Plan Select for web site design and implementation. Oak Grove is a “new urbanist” live-work-play community and Health Plan Select is an affiliate of Athens Regional Medical Center.
Two Atlanta-based financial services companies have also tapped Jackson Spalding for naming, branding and corporate launch services. The companies are VRH Partners, an investment banking firm focusing on merger and acquisition services for middle-market companies and private equity firms, and Atlantic Capital Bank, which will serve emerging growth companies and mid-size investors.
In addition, Jackson Spalding has won a competitive bid for a collaborative effort between several nonprofits to promote a toll-free foreclosure prevention hotline throughout the Atlanta area. The 888-995-HOPE public awareness project, starts in January, and is committed to helping more struggling Atlanta homeowners stay out of foreclosure and in their homes.
“We are thrilled to add these diverse projects to our client roster,” said Bo Spalding, a principal of Jackson Spalding. “We are seeing a growing demand for our public relations, graphic design and multi-media services in Atlanta and Athens, and have staffed up to meet this demand.”
