Our “Global Offices” blog series features a Q&A each month with one of Exponential’s offices across the world. For the month of May, Expo’s Atlanta team gave us the lowdown on “The City Too Busy to Hate”, their life philosophy and why clients love working with them.

 

What year did the Atlanta office open?

The Atlanta office was established in 2010.

How many Exponential employees are at this office? Which departments are represented and how do the job functions relate to clients?

The Southeast region is currently a team of four. Kristin D’Amico leads as Sales Director, Lucy Bell & Jocelyn McConnaughey are Sales Executives and Emily Porche is the most tenured team member and our Account Manager. Our main focus is to drive revenue for brands and agencies out of the Southeast.

 

Why do clients love working with the Atlanta office?

We asked a few clients why they liked working with Exponential’s Southeast team and this is what they said:

“The Atlanta Exponential team is one of our only partners that comes to us with innovative, data-based ideas that elevate performance tenfold. We’ve built a true, client-centric partnership that we are incredibly grateful to have! On a personal level – Lucy, Emily, Kristin, Jed, and everyone else we’ve had the opportunity to meet is an absolute joy to work with. So much love for this team!”

“I appreciate their responsiveness, energy, creativity and commitment to solid partnership. Kristin and Lucy take the time to learn about our team and find fun ways to include personal elements in their communications with us. It makes them stand out from all the vendors we work with and makes our team feel like they truly care about becoming partners and not just on getting more budget.”

What are some favorite activities the office enjoys doing together? 

We love trying new restaurants, anything donut-related, Flip Cup gender wars with our partners, and celebrating big successes with the Chambong. Because Exponential’s Southeast team is nothing if not classy.

 

What does your office love most about Atlanta? 

We’re proud to be both the “City Too Busy to Hate” and home to the new reboot of Queer Eye’s Fab Five (during filming season only, sadly). Atlanta overflows with great food, culture, rich history (Coca-Cola was founded here, MLK Jr. was born and raised here, and Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone with the Wind here!), and lots of fun activities to do with friends, families, kids, etc.

Any team mottos?

We’ve dubbed our team “Over The Top”, as it encompasses our approach to everything including: activity levels, client events, relationships, and, well, it also speaks to each of our personalities if we’re being totally honest. If you’re gonna go…best go BIG!

What is one interesting fact most people don’t know about the Atlanta office?

Our offices are located in Atlanta’s midtown neighborhood where we’re immediately surrounded by several of our clients and other businesses, all in high-rise buildings. Just a few streets away, you can find hundreds of pre-WWII historic homes, the largest greenspace in Atlanta (Piedmont Park), 16 Fortune 500 company headquarters, and the Atlanta BeltLine, 22 miles of former streetcar rails that have been refurbished and converted into a beautiful path around Atlanta for walking, running, and biking. Another great Atlanta nickname is the “City in the Forest.” Atlanta has the highest percentage of tree coverage (at 36%) of all other major American cities. This makes for great outdoor activities and epic pollen counts!

Anything else you’d like to add?

In the true spirit of “Southern hospitality,” the Atlanta team LOVES visitors – if you ever find yourself in Atlanta (or with a long layover at the busiest airport in the WORLD), give us a ring. We love sharing our city with new friends and if you’re really lucky, we’ll let you Chambong with us
