“Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.”

– Simon Sinek

OUR TEAM

We think we have a bit of an unfair advantage over other agencies with our firm’s HQ being Atlanta. Atlanta is the HOME COURT FOR CULTURE and for much of what is important in the world today. The cultural vibe of being connected here inspires us and influences our work.

We are Strategists, Creators, and Marketers.

Let us introduce ourselves:

D. BENNY BENNAFIELD

Managing Partner, Founder

D. BENNY BENNAFIELD

Benny is an experienced marketing expert and entrepreneur with a passion for innovation and technology. He has led marketing and new business teams at global advertising agencies, managed multi-million-dollar accounts, and built startup companies from nothing.

Not what you’d expect from a guy with a computer science degree.

But it’s that computer science background that makes Benny unique. He understands marketing, and how to use technology to connect brands with consumers. And while brands are just waking up to the new reality of a more diverse world, Benny has been building and leading diversity and inclusion programs for over 20 years.

Throughout his career, Rick has focused on diversity and faith-based audiences and nonprofit initiatives. He brings a distinct blend of strategy, empathy and creativity to everything he does.
