Love’s corporate philanthropy experience coupled with Feichter’s extensive nonprot experience, including

community. Their clientele includes notable corporaons such as FOOD & WINE , The Coca-Cola Company,

Delta Air Lines, The Home Depot, NASCAR, sano-avens, Turner Broadcasng System and more.

Their work developing a naonal cause-markeng campaign for FOOD & WINE magazine led the duo to the

magazine’s famed FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen. So impressed by the Classic’s programming and how the

weekend drew smart, food-

loving people, Feichter and Love decided to recreate the concept in Atlanta toshowcase and celebrate their beloved Southern region and its rich food and beverage tradions.
