ATLANTA – May 2016: In less than five years, the Atlanta office of Avison Young has grown from a managing director to more than 100 employees, yet they have received little to no media attention about becoming one of the major commercial real estate (CRE) service firms in the Southeast. The firm needed a public relations strategy to help showcase their involvement in many of the biggest CRE deals in the area in recent years. Cookerly’s extensive work in the CRE industry space proved to be an ideal fit to help the growing firm develop a comprehensive program highlighting Avison Young’s principals, notable transactions and thought leadership expertise.
