Jackson Spalding Adds Seven Clients

Wins in Financial Services, Consumer and Not-for-Profit

ATLANTA, May 12, 2008 - Jackson Spalding continues its growth trend with the addition of seven new clients representing a variety of industries. The collective wins total more than $ 620,000 in revenue.

"We feel fortunate to have a diversified roster and continued momentum in 2008," says Glen Jackson, co-founder.

Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Atlanta (CCCS) has selected Jackson Spalding to design and implement a national campaign to promote the CredAbilityU free online financial education program. CCCS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community-service agency that provides confidential budget, housing and bankruptcy counseling, plus money and debt management education programs. The campaign, scheduled to launch in June, aims to increase CredAbilityU registration, participation in free online webinars and usage of financial management tools. This project grew out of the agency's award-winning work for the 1-888-995-HOPE foreclosure prevention campaign in Atlanta in 2007.

Atlanta-based Homrich & Berg, Inc. hired Jackson Spalding and its JS Creative division to develop marketing strategy, including national branding and positioning. Jackson Spalding will also handle media relations and special events for the firm, which provides wealth management services to high net worth individuals, families, foundations and trusts.

JS Creative also is working with Athens, Ga-based Locos Grill & Pub, a restaurant chain with more than 20 locations throughout the Southeast. Thus far, the work has included branding, positioning and a radio ad campaign. Future work will include public relations and event planning for the chain's 20^th anniversary celebration.

Jackson Spalding's Athens office also was selected to partner with Scratch Golf, a premium golf equipment manufacturer based in Eugene, Ore. Scratch Golf now has clubs in play on every major golf tour worldwide and Jackson Spalding will be providing media relations and marketing counsel for the rapidly growing company.

Three new prestigious not-for-profit clients are tapping the firm for 2008 support. Building on the firm's four-year tenure handling media relations for the Chick-fil-A Bowl game, Jackson Spalding is now handling publicity for the Chick-fil-A Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America. Tactics include social media outreach to a diverse audience, and regional and national media relations, as well as community and media outreach in more than 10 markets where the motorcycle ride stops. The campaign benefits Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, N.C. The camp, founded in 2004 by Kyle and Patty Petty in honor of their late son Adam, serves chronically ill children at no cost to their families. The Pettys recently announced a second Victory Junction Gang Camp to be located in Wyandotte County, Kan.

Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) hired Jackson Spalding to handle communications, media and event management for the April 14th dedication ceremony for a new monument for Ambassador Andrew Young in downtown Atlanta. The event celebrated the life and contributions of Ambassador Young and concluded with the dedication of a newly renovated Walton Spring Park featuring a 25-foot obelisk and statue of Young.

The Cumberland Community Improvement District expanded Jackson Spalding's current role for media relations, web site maintenance, annual report production and video work.
