What do you think needs to happen for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level? 1.
Stop making excuses and do great work. 2. Stop trying to fool people with fake, joypop ads and do exceptional work for real clients that make both of us famous. 3. Stop saying “our client’s are stupid”. They are not. 4. Stop behaving like a regional market and think globally. 5. Training – we aren’t doing enough to train the talent we have. That includes every discipline within the agency. 6. Drink more beer together.

What do you think needs to happen for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level?
Atlanta has a lot of talent, but it is divided into a lot of smaller “groups” with 0 colabration which makes the overall creative scene here suffer. There are several groups that people can get involved with (from free to paid), but most refuse to interact with them if there is not an instant “in it for me” factor. I often hear people complaining about how Atlanta’s creative scene is lacking, but I rarely see anyone trying to do anything to help it. GET INVOLVED PEOPLE.. THIS IS OUR INDUSTRY… THIS IS OUR CITY… LETS MAKE IT SOMETHING!
