(Summer 2013) Cookerly Public Relations, a leading Atlanta-based public relations and marketing communications agency, added more robust in-house design capabilities this year as an additional service for clients and is very pleased with the breadth, scope and quality of work provided.
“We’ve had a number of clients really expand their creative portfolio with us, adding both digital and hard-copy elements to the mix,” said Carol Cookerly, president of Cookerly Public Relations. “We were one of only a handful of agencies to actually prosper during the recession, and adding significant in-house design capabilities has been extremely beneficial to not only our clients, but to us as well, as business has grown.”
In January, Cookerly brought on Tim Pengelly as the firm’s design director. In this role, Tim serves as the creative lead in the development of branding campaigns, print collateral, digital media and website design for clients.
Since his hire, Cookerly has performed a variety of design work for clients including Intelligent Hospital Systems, Guardian Pharmacy, Warbird Consulting Partners, SunTrust Banks and more. The work has included print and outdoor advertising, collateral pieces, trade show displays, websites, logo design, infographics and presentation pieces.
Cookerly continues to work with a number of advertising agencies depending on the clients’ needs, and the added capability of in-house design work allows the firm to enhance the public relations strategy of each client.
