Atlanta Brands Are Hiring Atlanta Agencies Again. Chruch's Chicken Hires JWT Atlanta.

Ok. One hire doesn't make a tidal wave, but lets hear it for JWT Atlanta keeping the Church's Chicken Advertising Business in Atlanta.  Church's, under it's last two private equity firms, has foregone Atlanta advertising talent to test the creative waters of Made Movement of Denver Colorado and most recently Erich and Kallman of San Francisco, CA.  I've spent time in Boulder and San Francisco.  I can assure you there are not a lot of fried chicken eaters in either city.  This all came about after Church's appointed Hector Munoz from his previous position as CMO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Based in Atlanta, Church's is famous for hand-battered fried chicken and honey-butter biscuits. 2016 sales were $835 million and they are the 54th largest U.S. Restaurant chain.

Disclosure: VWA has worked with Church's on their franchise development materials.  They are great people and we wish them all the best.
