Project Spotlight: “Creativcity” by 22squared

picture-3011

“There’s no reason we can’t be one of those cities creative people want to go to. There’s nothing magical about Portland, Minneapolis or Sao Paolo. No little elves to shield the work from client changes or market downturns. No unicorn to gallop the work straight into CA, Archive and FWA.com. They just have good agencies with great people who work really hard.

Hey, us too.

In these tough times (drink!*), it’s hard enough to get work produced, let alone great work produced. But let’s make a deal to be as creative as we know we can be to make Atlanta the next city the ad world loves to love.

PS. Congrats to all the Addy winners this year. Keep it coming.

* Keep things interesting until the world gets back to normal—The “These Days” drinking game! Every time you see a commercial referring to today’s economy, drink! And if you wrote/art directed/worked on said commercial, drain it.

ATL Creatives would like to thank Molly Molina and Lisa Geubtner (creatives at 22squared) for their efforts toward keeping great creatives in ATL.
