Agency welcomes City of Atlanta & Fulton County Recreation Authority, Chance Partners and The Georgia Club
(ATLANTA – April 2014) – Cookerly Public Relations continues to expand its expertise in the sectors of sports & recreation, real estate development & management, and planned community living as the agency welcomes three new clients: City of Atlanta & Fulton County Recreation Authority, Chance Partners and The Georgia Club.
City of Atlanta & Fulton County Recreation Authority (“The Authority”) owns Philips Arena, Turner Field and the Olympic Cauldron, and has certain responsibilities related to Zoo Atlanta and John A. White Park. Additionally, The Authority promotes recreation in the City of Atlanta and Fulton County through charitable donations and scholarships. Cookerly will work with The Authority to highlight how they enhance neighborhood communities as well as promote its work surrounding the management of many of metro-Atlanta’s most important venues.
Chance Partners is a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in the development of high-quality, multifamily and student housing communities catering to those that seek the ultimate amenities: location, quality and value. Cookerly will work with Chance Partners to promote Riverfront Village, their mixed-use development in Tuscaloosa, AL.
The Georgia Club an upscale, planned golf community just east of Atlanta, is one of Georgia’s premier places to live. Nestled on 1,500 acres that cover parts of Oconee and Barrow counties, The Georgia Club is currently home to nearly 250 families. Cookerly will work with The Georgia Club to enhance brand recognition that will lead to increased sales.
“Our experienced team has the breadth and expertise to provide wide-ranging public relations programs from recreation to upscale planned developments and communities,” said Keith Bowermaster, vice president at Cookerly Public Relations. “We are honored to be working with these new clients and look forward to a long relationship with each.”
