And he emphasized the importance of customer experience, branding and counter-cultural thinking.

Big changes are underway in the Central Business District! 🏙️ Last May, the City of Peachtree Corners placed a moratorium on development due to a high number of properties going up for sale. After months of planning and community input, they've adopted a new small area plan designed to shape the future of this space. This plan outlines targeted redevelopment efforts, including revamping underutilized office spaces, enhancing community amenities, creating more mixed-use areas, and ensuring future projects align with the city's long-term vision for a vibrant and sustainable business district. A market analysis assisted the city into dividing the region into 7 sub-areas, meaning that redevelopment efforts can be customized and targeted towards specific parts of the district, depending on its needs. 🚧 Read the full article: https://bit.ly/3PhxNnr #PeachtreeCornersGA #CentralBusinessDistrict #CityOfPeachtreeCorners #UrbanDevelopment #TheForumPeachtreeCorners #PeachtreeCornersTownCenter #AtlantaTechPark

It also requires visiting our local cities of Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Duluth, and surrounding areas. So, if you’re interested or know someone who might be a great fit, we'd love to hear from you. #accountexecutive #advertisingsales #peachtreecorners #norcrossga #duluthga #digitaladsales #salesJob #gwinnettcounty #salesperson #adsales #magazine

Peachtree Corners teen, Lex Stolle, was ten years old and just starting fifth grade when he was diagnosed with high-risk, acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After the diagnosis, he underwent an initial round of chemotherapy to put the disease into remission, followed by 10 months of intense treatments and another two-and-a-half years of monthly maintenance and nightly medicine to keep it there. Now, at 15 years old, Lex says he’s doing better than ever and is committed to using his experience to help others. One way he’s doing that is through his nonprofit fundraising program, Cancer Card. 2024 Cancer Cards are on sale and active through May 25, 2025. Each card is $25. All proceeds go to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where Stolle received his treatment. Cards can be purchased for Peachtree Corners, Milton/Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Athens and Marietta. The discounts associated with the cards can be used at participating restaurants. To purchase your cards (or make a tax-deductible donation), visit www.cancercard.net.

One of the best definitions of brand I have heard in my career is this. “Your brand is the sum of every interaction that someone has with your company”. The CEO of Massageluxe, Kristen Pechacek, made that statement (perhaps not verbatim, but darn close) at the Franchise Experience conference earlier this year in Atlanta and it has stuck with me since. Your brand is what you do, how you look, and how you act….it is not the words you put on a sheet on a paper. You can’t tell people what your brand is, you SHOW people what your brand is. Every touchpoint your customer or the public has with your company matters. From your signage, to how they dress, to everything you put your logo on - it all reflects what you are. If your store is dirty or your employees sloppy - guess what? That’s what the world sees you as - dirty and sloppy. For nearly 30 years we have been blessed to work with some of the best brands in the world. At Vox, we are bold, hyper focused on pursuing greatness and tastefully obnoxious. It goes into everything we do, print, show and live. Is your brand and everything you are doing communicating the message you want the world to know?
