Boosting ’06 Wins to 30;

Agency Doubles Office Size with Mid-December Move

ATLANTA (December, 2006)—Three new clients chose Jackson Spalding in November, boosting the agency’s 2006 new business wins to 29. This caps off a year of unprecedented growth for the firm, which added 15 new professionals and moves this month to a 17,800-square-foot office in the 1100 Peachtree Building.

“We are thrilled about our new space, which more than doubles the size of our current location,” said Glen Jackson, co-founder. “The new location will feature a multimedia studio and greatly enhanced meeting rooms.” The agency’s Athens location also is growing, with plans to move in 2007.

Jackson Spalding’s newest clients include the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s 2007 Decorator Show House and Gardens, which chose the firm for marketing and public relations assistance, after a competitive review. Owners of The Candler Building also tapped the agency for marketing and PR planning.

An additional assignment came from PBS&J, a national engineering consulting firm that chose Jackson Spalding to help with branding and communications associated with a new division.

“We are ending 2006 on a very high note,” said Jackson. “We have exceeded even our stretch goals this year, and it’s our terrific team that made this all happen.”
