At The Partnership, we’re driven by values that extend beyond the traditional workplace. As Atlanta’s oldest privately held marketing and brand communications agency, we pride ourselves on blending partnership, purpose, passion, and progress with a commitment to the communities and client-partners we serve. Giving back through volunteer efforts allows us to not only support causes we believe in but also strengthen our team and our work.
Recently, members of our Atlanta team volunteered with Second Helpings Atlanta (SHA), a nonprofit organization focused on reducing hunger and food waste across the Metro Atlanta area. Our volunteers packed 8,000 servings to feed 1,000 families across the city, working side-by-side to support a cause that directly impacts our neighbors. For our team, these efforts aren’t just about giving back; they’re about embodying our core values of purpose and partnership in a hands-on, impactful way. Community involvement like this reinforces our commitment to serving beyond the workplace and helps foster a sense of unity and shared purpose within our team. By dedicating our time and energy to projects like this, we’re able to deepen our connection with each other, our community, and the values that drive The Partnership.

The Partnership’s Commitment to Giving Back
Community service is at the heart of The Partnership. Through The Partnership Gives Back initiatives, we aim to shape future generations and support local organizations. Our agency’s commitment includes a $50,000 pledge to Bluestone, the student-led PR firm at the University of West Georgia, a collaboration with Georgia State University to bring real-world campaigns to life, and annual traditions like the Turkey drive in Naples led by our client-partner Capital Wealth Advisors.
