Lenz On Business Brings in Star after Star

Throughout 2019, “Lenz on Business,” the Lenz-owned and produced weekly business talk show on 95.5 FM WSB, featured intimate conversations with an array of business leaders, including John Schuerholz of the Atlanta Braves, Alan Stukalsky with Randstad North America; Catherine Hernandez-Blades with Aflac; Derrick Johnson with UPS; and Pat Warner with Waffle House.

Lenz Takes on the Windy City alongside Preferred Podiatry Group

Lenz had the honor of partnering with Preferred Podiatry Group (PPG) to organize their 2019 PPG Healthcare Summit, assisting the practice with event planning, communications, and execution. The 2019 Summit took place June 21-22, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois and hosted more than 100 affiliated physicians and industry leaders from across the country.

The Summit included exciting Chicago-themed activities, such as an architecture boat cruise down the Chicago River and a Cubs game at Wrigley Field–in addition to educational lectures and panels given by PPG leaders and affiliated physicians. Outstanding members of PPG were also honored throughout the Summit weekend.

Tampa Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Gets a Rebrand

Lenz developed a new logo and visual identity for Tampa Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, balancing the practice brand with the personal brand of its lead physician, Dr. Joseph Brown.

Georgia Urology’s Website Redesign and Video Creation

As the stewards of Georgia Urology’s brand, Lenz endeavored to refresh some of the practice’s key assets, including their WSB-TV commercial, recruitment tools.

With the generous help of many Georgia Urology physicians, we updated their television spot–featuring their incredible team, adding a really personal touch from the providers:

Then, after hundreds of hours of work, the team updated the Georgia Urology website: the practice’s digital front door. Along with a newer, cleaner look, the site implemented user-friendly navigation. The optimized design and structure yielded results: increasing online appointment requests by 23% in its first few months live.

Georgia Urology is the largest urology practice in the southeast, and they’re always growing and looking for new, talented providers. To aid in their pursuit of dedicated team members, the Lenz team–with CFF Media–created a powerful recruiting tool to inspire the next generation of Georgia Urology team members.

Atlanta Science Festival Spreads a Love for Science

For four years, Lenz has worked with the phenomenal Atlanta Science Festival (ASF) team. This annual two-week Festival celebrates local science and technology every March, featuring more than 100 events throughout metro Atlanta and reaching 50,000 children and adults annually. Lenz helps ASF with a wide variety of marketing services, including social media, digital content development, website and graphic design, public relations, and advertising. We continued this integrated partnership in 2019, producing updated visuals and strategies for ASF’s owned, earned, and paid media efforts.

2019 Visual Update:

Our 2019 efforts produced 81,177,807 advertising impressions, 234 media hits, and 16,547 social media engagements. Additionally, the 2019 festival saw increased attendance numbers across the board — 55,000 total festival attendees (up from 53,000 in 2018) and 29,000 Exploration Expo attendees (up from 25,000 in 2018).

In addition to this ongoing festival work, the Lenz team helped the Atlanta Science Festival develop and solidify its parent identity, Science ATL, which works to bring people together through the wonder of science year-round.

Social Media

We developed and currently manage the brand’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.

Elevating a Practice Brand through Video

What steps does it take to showcase a brand through video? Lenz knows how, and we were thrilled to create such a video for SouthCoast Health, a healthcare organizations with over 120 healthcare professionals encompassing more than 20 specialties and services.

To start, Lenz developed a script and storyboard for the video before procuring the vendor for the video. We also served as the intermediary between the client and the production team for the film schedule, production, set, and talent needs. Following, we helped to oversee the rounds of edits and feedback on the rough cuts of the footage drafted.

The Team Helps Celebrate the Arrival of Spring with the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival

What do you get when you mix incredible live entertainment, a whimsical artist market featuring 100 regional artisans, a Kidz Zone loaded with fun, the popular “Pet World,” a Classic Car Show, a delicious food court and a Peachtree Road Race qualifier to kick the whole thing off – all set in a beautiful park? The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, which ushers in the springtime on March 30 and 31 from 10 am to 6 pm Blackburn Park, a true landmark of the hopping City of Brookhaven – just 15 minutes north of downtown Atlanta!

Lenz Marketing was proud to work with Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival to promote their weekend-long event, and we had a blast while doing it. Check out some of our favorite social posts from 2019 here:

SEO Analysis and Consultation for Wrench Group

The Wrench Group, LLC is a national leader in home maintenance, repair and replacement services specializing in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical services. In 2019, they approached Lenz and asked for our expert team to study some of their biggest affiliated companies’ blog traffic in order to implement a successful SEO strategy that would allow their website content to flourish. As SEO enthusiasts, Lenz was excited to tackle the task, and help Wrench Group optimize its online presence.

Organizing and Orchestrating an EyeSouth Partners Retreat

Lenz spent six months planning and producing a three-day continuing education retreat for EyeSouth Partners affiliated doctors and their families. Held at the luxurious Boca Raton Resort from January 11-13, 2019, the weekend consisted of educational lectures, group beach activities, and bountiful amounts of food and fun.

Lenz Extends Marketing and Social Media Reach for Cumberland Caverns Live

Cumberland Caverns Live, a recent addition to the Southeast music scene, tapped Lenz to develop its marketing and social media brand, following its inaugural season in 2018. Artists like the Allman Betts Band, John Stuckley Trio, Deer Tick, and Devotchka have played memorable shows 333 feet below ground. Those performances were inside the visually striking and sonically rich World Famous Volcano Room at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tennessee.

To help raise CCL’s visibility and grow its audience for 2019, Lenz deployed an efficient marketing strategy including content creation, paid social, and targeted radio, digital, and print advertising. Lenz created new visual assets leveraging CCL’s striking performance imagery and band photography. Our team upgraded CCL’s social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, with consistent content cadence and high quality visual imagery. We also forged advertising partnerships with music and specialty publications in nearby markets like Nashville and Chattanooga such as Lightning 100 and Nashville Scene.

2019’s season was Cumberland Caverns Live’s best yet. While the live entertainment industry regroups from COVID-19 this year, we are working to make 2021 even better for our client.

Doubling Campaign Numbers with Emory

2019 marked the third year of our successful integrated marketing campaign for Emory Law’s Juris Master degree. The campaign leveraged traditional media (radio, print, PR), with targeted digital tools such as Google Ads, remarketing, and Facebook with customized messaging according to geography and concentration.

And in 2019, our partners within the law school charged Lenz with taking the campaign to the next level: they asked us to generate 50% more inquiries from prospective students compared to the previous year. To do this, Lenz amplified its digital strategy and took the campaign national: targeting geographies like Washington D.C., Austin, TX, Orlando, FL, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Virginia, and beyond. Coupled with strategic print, radio, and streaming campaigns, the campaign delivered: by the end, it had yielded almost 60% more inquiries than the previous year–more than 500 conversions in fewer than twenty weeks.

Plus, the campaign got a face-lift, embracing all new images and graphics, now unique to the degree.

Helping Marietta Plastic Surgery expand its reach via Pinterest

Lenz helped Marietta Plastic Surgery extend their reach to Pinterest this year. In addition to being a successful marketing tool, Pinterest also functions as a search platform, which helps prospective patients find relevant resources and updates in real-time. Marietta Plastic Surgery’s Pinterest is already off to a strong start with a curated mix of promotional practice materials and relatable lifestyle content boards. To see examples of those, click here for the Marietta Plastic Surgery “Meet Our Doctors board and the quotes board.

Celebrating the Love of Science through Killer Design

Lenz loves working with the Atlanta Science Festival, an annual two-week Festival celebrating science and technology every March. ASF features more than 100 events throughout metro Atlanta, reaching 50,000 children and adults each year. For the 2020 festival season, Lenz created a visual identity that encompasses the Festival’s mission, the theme of this year’s conference, and the work ASF does for our community. The result is this stunning poster developed by the Lenz Creative Team.

From there, Lenz Art Director Scott Sanders collaborated with the media department to develop a comprehensive suite of graphics for digital and social media content. Examples include Facebook event covers, newsletters, and promotional designs to spotlight events.

Brookhaven Census 2020 Campaign: Lenz Develops Community Focused Marketing Plan

Lenz is proud to work with the City of Brookhaven to promote its Census 2020 project. Our work for this initiative includes brand development, a multi-step marketing plan, paid advertising, and grass-roots promotion. Our goal is to help achieve a high rate of participation in the census, including among multiple audiences who speak varied languages, by educating and informing the community regarding the benefits of participation.

As stated on the 2020 Census website, “The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data. The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts.”

It’s our pleasure to work for such an important cause and to assist in helping our nearby communities flourish. Check out the work we’ve done for the census so far below.

Why Your Business Needs Facebook Location Pages

With over 2.4 billion monthly users, Facebook is a fantastic asset for medical practices and businesses to connect with patients and potential new customers. However, if you have multiple brick and mortar locations, it can be complicated to properly reflect your entire company on one Facebook page. This is where Facebook Location pages can help.

Here’s why your business needs Facebook Location pages:

What Is a Facebook Location Page?

Think of a Facebook Location page as a piece of digital real estate. Each one you create for your company is reflective of the brick and mortar locations associated with your practice or company. For example, if you have locations in Atlanta and Tampa, you should create Location pages for each location and each will be properly associated with your business page.

Facebook Location pages have a parent-child relationship, in which the main company page acts as a “parent” or “corporate” page and each location has a child relation. Location pages allow you to create individualized “child” pages while remaining affiliated with your main company page. Therefore, while you may have a Facebook page named after your business, each location page will be created underneath the page, connecting all of the locations to the main business.

What are the Benefits of Facebook Location Pages?

If you have multiple brick-and-mortar locations, it could be hurting you not to have Facebook Location pages set up. Here are some of the benefits you should keep in mind:

SEO

Search engine optimization (SEO) implements best practices to increase your website’s discoverability and rankings in organic search results. This same principle applies to people searching on Facebook. Creating location pages for each of your locations on your company’s Facebook page increases the likelihood that your business will show up in search results. Fully optimized Facebook location pages will help more people find you.

Contact Information

The “about” section of your Facebook page tells viewers essential details about your business. This includes hours of operation, street address, and contact information.

Enabling Facebook location pages makes it easy to add the correct information for individual locations, therefore making it easier for potential patients and customers to find wherever your business is located.

Ease of Access

Integrating all locations under the main company page makes it easier to see who has access to each page and helps manage individual locations. You can also set the main location page to share all posts to individual locations or manage each location page separately. Learn more about managing Location pages.

How Can Facebook Location Pages Help My Business?

Here are some ways location pages can benefit your business:

Encourage Check-Ins

Whenever a user writes a status on Facebook, they have the option to “check-in” wherever they are. If they choose to do so, that location’s information is shared with their entire network.

An optimized location page is a great way to pop up first in their search results and make your business more visible to nearby visitors. The more check-ins your business receives, the more new faces can discover your business.

Recommendations

Once you set up Facebook locations, you will have the option to receive recommendations on each of the individual pages. By enabling this feature, patients and customers won’t be leaving recommendations on your main company page. Instead, they will leave them on the correct location page.

This is a fantastic way to build trust with the local audience around that brick and mortar location.

Get In Touch

You will also have the option to receive messages to an individual location page. When properly managed, this can help patients and customers get in touch with the appropriate location quickly, thus finding answers to their questions faster.

How Do You Set Up Location Pages?

You’ll need to set up the Location Pages Manager from within the Facebook Business Manager. Here’s a helpful guide from Facebook if you’re new to it. Once Location pages are enabled, make sure you do the following for each location:

Select the appropriate page template.
Create a custom URL/username for each individual location.
Update the profile and cover photos to be reflective of that location.
Revise the “About” sections with all relevant contact information.
Start posting to your Location page(s).

2018 Lenz Highlights

2018 was a fantastic year for Lenz, filled with many wonderful projects and new challenges. Check out the summary of this past year for #TeamLenz.

Lenz welcomes new partnerships

2018 saw the start of many wonderful relationships with incredible clients. Here are some of the newest clients Lenz partnered up with to create outstanding marketing content for:

1. EyeSouth Partners: EyeSouth Partners is a premier network of integrated eye care practices located throughout the Southeast. 2018 marks the first year of the partnership between EyeSouth and Lenz, with Lenz providing its marketing and consulting services to the group and its affiliated practices, which include Georgia Eye Partners, Georgia Retina, and OPAL Aesthetics.
2. Coolray, Mr. Plumber, and BriteBox: For over 50 years, Coolray has been trusted by Atlanta homeowners as the leader in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services thanks to their highly skilled technicians and great value. We were ecstatic to bring on Coolray and their affiliated companies, Mr. Plumber and BriteBox, to the Lenz Family in 2018. In addition to creating advertisements, we’ve been managing social, SEO projects, and more for this three client addition.
3. Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival: This March 30th through 31st, The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival will usher in the spring season with a celebration of music, art, dogs, and food in the Brookhaven area. Team Lenz is proud to handle media buying, social media, and digital design to ensure they have a successful festival this year.
4. Avant Gynecology: Formerly McDaniel & Durrett, P.C, Lenz had a blast rebranding the practice as Avant Gynecology, Atlanta’s GYN and Surgical Specialists.
5. Upson Regional Medical Center: In 2018, Lenz was brought on by Upson Regional for a consultation project. Our team studied the effectiveness of the group’s existing marketing communications, held interviews in the field, and helped strengthen the brand and reach new patient groups after assessing the results.

Georgia Urology’s WSB-TV campaign

In 2018, Lenz developed and managed a robust TV ad campaign for Georgia Urology on WSB-TV. Three spots were created that focused on two of the practice’s important service lines—kidney stones and prostate cancer—and one spot was devoted to awareness building for the practice’s brand. The spots aired throughout the summer and fall of 2018 to great reception!

Tall Timbers environmental project

The Economic Impact of the Red Hills Region’s Quail Hunting Lands of North Florida and Southwest Georgia is a publication put out by the Tall Timbers organization that is based on research they do to track the conservation efforts they support. It is used to show the community and other interested parties how important the region’s environmental conservation efforts are to the local economy in very real terms. Lenz’s Creative Director Ben Barnes loves producing incredible design work for this project every three years because it’s an opportunity to be creative and support a good cause.

Check out 2018’s design here:

2018 Atlanta Science Festival

During the 2018 Atlanta Science Festival, Lenz had the pleasure of tackling exciting new projects in addition to improving the same initiatives from years prior. One of the top moments from 2018 was bringing ALEX (Atlanta’s Lead Explorer) to life. Not only did we create a physical costume that ASF could use during events of the conference, we also designed a mini version for some incredible social engagement. ALEX had much time in the spotlight, but here are some of our favorite photos:

Lenz also built a beautiful new website to help promote this incredible festival and its efforts to connect Atlanta’s science community. Check out this before and after:

BEFORE

AFTER

Our 2018 efforts really made a difference in the overall attendance, enjoyment, and quality of the festival. For example, last year 53,000 people attended, there were 120 events over 70 venues, and the festival gathered over 122 media hits that reached more than 37 million views.

Finally, our team managed to secure many exciting PR hits for this client. Just a few examples are coverage of the festival through Atlanta’s major network affiliates such as WSB-TV, 11 Alive, CBS 46, and Fox 5; a feature story from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; radio highlights on channels such as WABE’s “City Lights”, Kiss 104.1 FM’s “Business in the Black”, 92.9 the Game, and more; digital hits on several websites such as Atlanta Business Chronicle, Patch, AccessAtlanta, GPB, and more.

Rebranding Avant Gynecology, FKA McDaniel & Durrett, P.C.

Avant Gynecology, formerly known as McDaniel & Durrett, P.C, is a long-established practice that has been serving generations of women for more than 40 years. From creating the name to establishing the new brand’s aesthetic and identity, Lenz provided its services to ensure the practice’s rebranding captured its top-notch quality and professional reputation.

Emory Law’s JM Campaign

2018 saw the continuation of a successful integrated marketing campaign for Emory Law’s Juris Master degree. The campaign (now beginning its third year) leverages traditional media (radio, print, PR), targeted digital messaging, creative, and strategies across more than ten cities in the southeast including Charlotte, Nashville, Jacksonville, and Atlanta using tools such as geo-fencing, Google Ads, pre-roll, and remarketing. During the fall of 2018, we captured new video featuring student testimonials and created a suite of accompanying digital assets to harmonize with the new videos.

Here’s one example:

Lenz Helps Amplify Decatur Raise $40,000 to Fight Poverty

Lenz presented the 2018 Amplify Decatur Concert Series, helping raise $40,000 for its beneficiary Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM), a Decatur-based, nonprofit organization that works to prevent and alleviate poverty and homelessness in Decatur and DeKalb County. This $40,000 gift equals the most an Amplify Concert Series has generated to date; Amplify Decatur has raised and donated more than $190,000 to DCM since 2011.

On April 14, thousands gathered on the Downtown Decatur Square for the Amplify Decatur Music Festival, the centerpiece of the concert series. The festival featured performances by an all-star Americana line-up, including The Lone Bellow, The Jayhawks, Amanda Shires, and Parker Millsap. Atlanta-based folk duo Dwayne Shivers also performed.

Lenz’s own Accounts and Operations Director, Christine Mahin, served as festival director for the second consecutive year. Lenz is extremely proud to have worked alongside the Amplify My Community team to make this event as successful as it was.

Keep on scrolling to view some photos and branding of the event!

SouthCoast Health’s Urgent Care

With more than 120 healthcare professionals encompassing more than 20 specialties and services, we were excited to help SouthCoast Health promote its latest addition to its extensive line of services: Urgent Care. Lenz branded the service and crafted several social media assets, such as Facebook campaigns, boosted ads, and weekly social posts, to promote the line.

We were particularly proud of a gif that both the social media department and the creative team crafted together:

Collaboration between local bloggers and Marietta Plastic Surgery

In today’s age of online “influencers” and brands, plastic surgery groups have seen great success in collaborating with micro-influencers. Micro-influencers are local social media accounts with large followings and audiences that trust their opinion.

That’s why Lenz was proud to connect Marietta Plastic Surgery with Peaches in a Pod, a best-friend micro-influencers duo based in Marietta, Georgia. See some of the social posts and blogs we helped Peaches in a Pod create to promote the incredible services Marietta Plastic Surgery provides.

2017 Lenz Highlights

2017 was quite a busy year for the team at Lenz! As such, we would like to take a moment and look back on all we accomplished for our clients. From creating integrated marketing campaigns, to rebranding medical practices, and expanding our media properties in Atlanta and beyond, Team Lenz has covered a lot of ground. See below for some of our highlights and achievements from last year!

SouthCoast Health Breast Cancer Campaign

As SouthCoast Health’s key social media and digital content provider, the Lenz team developed custom branding, digital content, as well as social and public relations campaigns worthy of the innovative breast health services that SouthCoast Health offers.

Check out some of the pieces Lenz created for this campaign, including branded logo and website graphics, blogs, news pieces, and informative graphics.

Video series for Emory Law’s JM Program

Lenz partnered with Mixed Bag Media to produce a series of videos promoting Emory University School of Law’s Juris Master program, designed for non-lawyers who want to advance in their career and gain an understanding of how the law relates to their field. For the project, we interviewed seven current and former students of the program and asked them about how the degree helped their careers in the fields of healthcare, human resources, and business. We also had the opportunity to interview Stephen Sencer, the Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Senior Advisor to the President of Emory University about the value of the degree to working professionals.

As a part of a multifaceted video campaign, we worked with the Mixed Bag Media team to develop two versions of each interview (a 90-second and 30-second version), as well as a montage video featuring multiple students. The videos were used in a large-scale digital marketing campaign, which included social media, web, and YouTube pre-roll. All ads clicked through to branded landing pages, which rounded out the cohesive look of the integrated campaign. The landing pages allowed us to track conversions from each individual referral source, helping us optimize and achieve the client’s goals.

PT Solutions’ Partnership with the Atlanta Braves

Lenz helped PT Solutions promote its partnership with the Atlanta Braves, by creating a sponsor shield, billboard campaign, and website features.

See below for these design pieces!

Lenz Owned Media Properties

In addition to offering our healthcare and community clients integrated services, Lenz also owns several media properties, allowing us to deliver more value to our clients and help them reach their goals. In 2017, Lenz was able to expand its “The Weekly Check-Up” show out of Atlanta (out of the state for that matter) into Tampa, Florida! “The Weekly Check-Up” now airs on WHPT 102.5 FM.

2017 also saw the debut of “Lenz on Business,” Atlanta’s preeminent business talk show that airs Saturdays at 6 p.m. on News/Talk 95.5 FM WSB. Each week, Lenz president and CEO, Richard Lenz, speaks with Atlanta’s business leaders to explore their inspiring stories, lessons learned, and tips for growth and success.

Creating A.L.E.X. for the Atlanta Science Festival

With its growing popularity, the Atlanta Science Festival needed a playful, memorable brand to help solidify its place among Atlanta’s busy calendar of events and reach even more curious people across the region. ASF came to Lenz for help with this task, and thus ALEX was born into the universe.

ALEX (Atlanta’s Lead EXplorer) is ASF’s mascot: a spunky astronaut sporting the branded ASF pink and ready to take ATLiens on a two-week science-filled adventure. The goal with this mascot’s development was to instill a sense of exploration and wonder in the 2017 festival while also solidifying ASF’s brand within the Atlanta market. Knowing that consumers show affinity towards brands that extend their essence beyond a logo, and into a carefully crafted persona, ALEX became an integral part of the festival’s marketing initiatives.

Georgia Urology’s 2017 Marketing Campaign

How do you take often uncomfortable topics and develop messages that connect with potential patients looking for first-rate care? What do patients really want from their healthcare experience? These are just a couple of the questions the Lenz team asked when developing Georgia Urology’s 2017 “Confidence” campaign.

The “Confidence” campaign is designed to articulate the wide array of benefits that patients receive by partnering with Georgia Urology for their healthcare, and it recognizes that urology comes with particular sensitivities and considerations.

Check out some of the pieces Lenz created for this campaign, including print ads, billboard ads, and an updated website.

Lenz Helps Amplify Decatur Raise $40,000 to Fight Poverty

Lenz presented the 2017 Amplify Decatur Concert Series, helping raise $40,000 for its beneficiary Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM), a Decatur-based, nonprofit organization that works to prevent and alleviate poverty and homelessness in Decatur and DeKalb County.

On April 22, thousands gathered on the Downtown Decatur Square for the Amplify Decatur Musical Festival, the centerpiece of the concert series. Americana legend and three-time Grammy winner Lucinda Williams headlined the outdoor festival, which drew more than 2,000 guests. Also performing were Noah Gundersen, John Moreland, Harold Holloway & Company, Packway Handle Band, and Kristen Englenz & The Committed.

Lenz is extremely proud to have worked alongside the Amplify My Community team to make this event a reality.

Rebranding Avail Dermatology, FKA Newnan Dermatology

Avail Dermatology was formerly Newnan Dermatology, a respected provider of dermatological services since 1990. From creating the name to choosing the color scheme and design of the new logo, Lenz provided its services to ensure the practice’s rebranding captured its high quality and professional reputation.

Branded Infographics for ACMR

In an effort to raise awareness of the importance of medical research and related topics, such as vaccinations and the role caregivers play, Lenz has created several branded infographics for the Atlanta Center for Medical Research.

Check out the infographics below!

Atlanta Interfaith Manifesto

An especially unique project the Lenz team had the privilege to work on this year was promoting the Atlanta Interfaith Manifesto – a statement and digital movement working to promote interfaith cooperation in the Atlanta community.

The Lenz creative, interactive, and media departments all pulled together to shape the marketing around The Manifesto and help make its auspicious goal a reality. Starting off with just 15 “endorsers” and the development of two full page ads, the initiative soon took root and bloomed into a fully integrated digital movement (website, Facebook, Twitter, and e-newsletter), media coverage on WSB-TV and The Atlanta Business Chronicle, a full-house event at The Center for Civil and Human Rights, a custom blog series, and (to-date) over 800 endorsers of The Atlanta Interfaith Manifesto.

The custom blog series is a point of particular pride among the many exciting efforts developed for this client. Think-pieces from Atlanta leaders like Doug Shipman (CEO of The Woodruff Arts Center), Rev. Dr. Gerald Durley (veteran of the Civil Rights Movement), Dr. Derreck Kayongo (CEO of The National Center for Civil and Human Rights), and Jan Love (Dean of Candler School of Theology at Emory University) were collected and featuring on the Manifesto website and social media properties.

Lenz will continue to manage the digital marketing for the Atlanta Interfaith Manifesto in 2018.

Thank you for reading! Believe it or not, these projects are just a small sampling of our work from 2017. Thank you to our clients who trust us with their business every year. We’re excited to do even more in 2018!

LENZtern Allison Miller Leaves Behind a Digital Legacy

Lenz is proud to host many interns that leave behind legacies of hard work, creative ideas, and lasting relationships. It should come as no surprise that our 2017 summer intern Allison Miller would combine her social media savvy and natural design talent to leave us with an especially unique legacy: a Snapchat geofilter.

For the 158 million people who use Snapchat every day, one of the most popular features are the geofilters—creative overlays based on location and time that appear around the user’s picture or video. During Allison’s summer internship with Lenz, she noticed the area around the Lenz office in downtown Decatur was lacking a geofilter option that truly expressed the colorful and creative atmosphere of the community. So, she decided to do something about it by designing and submitting her own geofilter for the downtown Decatur Square. As a part of the application process, Allison detailed the rich, cultural history of the Decatur area as her creative inspiration.

Read what she had to say:

“This summer I’ve been spending a lot of time in Decatur interning at a marketing agency. I’ve learned that the agency Lenz has had quite a positive impact on the area.”

“As an avid Snapchat user, I noticed that Decatur had several community geofilters, but none of them really represented the rich culture contained here. Therefore, I decided to use my graphic design skills to create my own. I chose the guitar because Decatur is rich with music history, having been the place where Indigo Girls, John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, and Sugarland got their starts. I just hope that I can continue my boss’ dream of making Decatur the best it can be, and I feel that Snapchat can help.”

Be on the lookout for this Allison’s Snapchat geofilter next time you’re taking a selfie on the Decatur Square!
