While we have worked with companies all over the world, (r)evolution is proud to announce our first expansion outside of Atlanta. In Summer 2011, we will officially open the doors to our New York City outpost, and we’re excited to soon call this new city home.
In recent years, we have experienced strong growth and great successes, helping us to establish close relationships with our clients and build a team of once-in-a-lifetime individuals.
Much of our growth has come from our clients in the Northeast, who have invested in our process, our people, and our culture throughout our first 7 years. This is precisely why we’re excited to invest in New York and the Northeast region. We are committed to growing our clients’ businesses, and we are excited to take this first step towards building a truly global presence for (r)evolution.
This means we can provide more value and work more collaboratively with our clients in and around New York City, without sacrificing the culture we have cultivated for so long in Atlanta. In time, we will build a permanent team for (r)evolution in New York, and we hope you are part of this growth.
We’re excited to spread the news and to make our presence known in New York.
Our own Brad White has been selected as one of three Conference Chairs for the 2011 PDMA Annual International Conference.
This year’s conference is being held in Phoenix, AZ from October 29-November 2, 2011. Stay tuned for details.

On August 28th, (r)evolution will host its first ever Innovate-athon, a half-day event designed to provide pro bono marketing strategy and innovation consulting services to a selected non-profit organization. This year’s benefiting organization is The Global Village School, a unique organization that helps young women whose lives have been disrupted by war and refugee camp experiences achieve their educational dreams. The (r)evolution team will facilitate the Innovate-athon, bringing together many of our talented clients, partners, and friends to tackle some of this organization’s toughest challenges. By combining our brain power and business experience, we firmly believe that together we can produce valuable and sustainable strategies that can help transform The Global Village School and the lives of the girls that attend the school.
Here at (r)evolution, we are so grateful for all that the Atlanta community has given to us, both as a company and as individuals. We believe that it is our responsibility to give something back and, in that spirit, we have built and are executing against a holistic Corporate Social Responsibility platform. The Innovate-athon is our first major step in a plan to contribute our time, money and resources to causes and organizations in our community that need our help. Stay tuned for more information on our CRS platform.
The Global Village School opened in Atlanta in August 2009 to provide teenage girls whose formal education has been interrupted by war and refugee camp experiences with an enriched, Montessori-informed education. This school’s ground-breaking curriculum provides teenagers with intensive English language training and enhanced education, with an emphasis on science, math, humanities, business, and the arts. For more information, please visit their website.

(r)evolution is thrilled to welcome Steve Jones as a Principal. Steve is the former CMO of The Coca-Cola Company where he reported to the Chairman and oversaw one of the world’s most loved and recognized beverage brands. There he focused on creating growth by diversifying the product portfolio through aggressive new organic product development and acquisitions.
Steve has held many roles, both in the public and private sector, over his successful career. Early in his career, Steve managed some high growth brands, including Huggies diapers and Kleenex paper products at Kimberly-Clark. He then spent eighteen years at The Coca-Cola Company in various roles, including, Sr. Brand Manager of Diet Coke, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Great Britain, Region Manager, President of Coca-Cola Japan, CEO of The Minute Maid Company and Chief Marketing Officer.
In addition to his marketing and business operator background, Steve brings diverse experiences with private equity deals and several small/midsize business endeavors in the past seven years. He served as CEO of Ace Bakery, a private $20 million gourmet bakery and, most recently, as CEO of Jones Soda Co., leading the turnaround of the struggling new age beverage company.
Now at (r)evolution, Steve hopes to push our thinking and further refine our practice areas to be even more relevant to the evolving business landscape. He will also help provide our clients with a new perspective on approaching growth creation and provide a range of expertise that can help us to deliver better and more actionable strategies.
