After an agency search, Out of Hand Theater selected c21 to help increase its name recognition and brand awareness! Not your traditional theater, Out of Hand uses art and entertainment to promote civic engagement around social justice topics such as anti-racism, housing and health equity, sex trafficking awareness and more. These programs and performances take place in homes, corporate or public spaces where the venue itself becomes a character.

Named The New York Times Best Theater of 2020, (along with many other accolades) c21 is thrilled to be working with such a unique and impactful organization that not only aligns with our values but also speaks to our hearts. Stay tuned for details on when we will host a show at our office!

Our annual planning session brought the c21 team together for a day of collaboration, connection and goal-setting (we like to aim high!). This year, we kicked things off with an improv workshop from the famous Dad’s Garage Theatre to break the ice and loosen up our creative juices, which included planning some outrageous fantasy vacations.

Then we got down to business discussing our marketing goals for the year. A delicious lunch at the Emory Conference Center Hotel (another beloved c21 client) kept us fueled and we wrapped up the day with a well-earned happy hour. We also welcomed our newest intern, Canyon, to the team—keep reading to learn more about him! Here’s to another exciting year!

Congratulations to Joe Allen!

Joe Allen, a long-time c21 client and executive director of Gwinnett Place CID, received the Public Service Award at the Gwinnett Chamber’s 77th Annual Dinner! In addition to that, he received the Professional Excellence Award from the Council for Quality Growth. These well-deserved honors recognize his dedication to serving the Gwinnett community and driving positive change.

We’re proud to work with leaders like Joe who are making a lasting impact. Joe, keep dreaming big and we’re here to help any way we can!

KDC CMAA 2025:

Kuo Diedrich Chi Architects (KDC) attended the 2025 Club Management Association of America World Conference and Club Business Expo earlier this month in Tampa, Florida.

c21 queen, Sharon, joined KDC to help ensure the booth setup and GM Corner interviews ran smoothly while capturing social content for Facebook Stories and Instagram Reels.

Ramps, Rain (Ice, really) and Ribbon-Cutting: Celebrating Progress (Indoors!):

We partnered with Cumberland CID to celebrate the opening of the new I-75 express lanes access ramp at Akers Mill Road. Originally planned as an outdoor ribbon-cutting on the ramp itself, the event took a quick turn indoors due to snow, ice and freezing temperatures.

Despite the shift, the celebration was a success—marking a major milestone for this much-anticipated infrastructure project.

Snow in Atlanta is a rare sight, but this January we got not just one day—but two! On January 10 and 21, our city turned into a winter wonderland. Like many others, we took some time off to enjoy it.

From Sydney’s scenic views to Jamie making snowy memories with her kids, our team made the most of the unexpected winter storm. Check out our Instagram to see some of our favorite snow day moments!

We’re excited to welcome Canyon, our Spring 2025 intern, to the c21 team! He’s already diving into real world PR projects, bringing fresh ideas and a passion for social media and graphic creation. Be sure to check out his bio and first blog post to follow along with his journey!

We kicked off Canyon’s internship with a welcome lunch at Hawkers, an Asian street food-style restaurant on the Beltline's Eastside Trail in Atlanta (just a short walk from the office). The team enjoyed delicious dishes while getting to know Canyon better and celebrating his start with us!

Let’s raise a glass to c21’s own Valerie, who celebrated her birthday on January 27, and Meghan, who turned a year wiser on February 2! We love taking a moment to celebrate both of them and can’t thank them enough for all they do here at c21. Happy birthday and here’s to a great year!
