Jackson Spalding Reports Strong Business Gains for 2010

Recent wins point to optimism

ATLANTA (October 29, 2010) – Jackson Spalding continues to make steady strides in new business. According to Glen Jackson, Jackson Spalding co-founder, the uptick is due to a combination of new client wins, issues management work and significant incremental projects awarded from existing accounts.

Wells Fargo Insurance Services, the world’s fifth-largest insurance brokerage firm, has asked Jackson Spalding to help promote its strong presence and thought leadership in the Atlanta marketplace. Streamlite, formerly known as MailExpress, has tapped Jackson Spalding to support its ongoing public relations initiatives. Streamlite is a business-to-residential light weight package delivery company experiencing rapid growth in its industry.

Jackson Spalding’s JS Creative Division, responsible for branding, graphic design, digital and multimedia services, won the brand development business for Avenues Gifts, an Atlanta-based retailer that partners with hotel and airport operators on customized gift shops. JS Creative also won a competitive bid from Rogers Electric to help the industrial supplier navigate its brand expansion into new service lines. The firm’s digital team picked up web development projects from the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture and recently launched an online newsroom for existing client Primrose Schools.
