Love’s corporate philanthropy experience coupled with Feichter’s extensive nonprot experience, including
her role as the Director of Development for Hands on Atlanta, has posioned their agency as a go-to

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

weekend drew smart, food-
