As we pass the half-year mark for 2024, our team at Wilbert continues to work hard, pushing for our clients to earn the best media placements possible in key markets, locally or nationally. We’ve had some exciting milestones and initiatives for our clients, from new store openings to the opening of an impactful history exhibit in the heart of Atlanta.

 Below is a sampling of significant media mentions our team has secured in Q2 of 2024.

• Residents are flocking to live at High Street, a new mixed-use district in Atlanta's Perimeter. Atlanta Business Chronicle covered the first 100 leases signed at the multi-family portion of the project.

Walmart partnered with Mayor Andre Dickens and other City of Atlanta officials to ensure this community had its needs met, as told by the AJC.

• After closing at the onset of the pandemic, Atlanta History Center reopened its Midtown Campus, including the Margaret Mitchell House, on July 10. The apartment and adjacent rooms now feature Telling Stories: Gone With the Wind and American Memory, a new exhibit that contextualizes the author’s story and the massive impact “Gone With the Wind” has had on how the world understands the American Civil War. Wilbert was proud to share this monumental reopening with FOX 5.
