AMA Atlanta

Last week you brought the kicks and cheer to our annual holiday party, proving once again why our creative scene is unmatched. Every pair of shoes told a unique story—just like every marketer who walked through our doors. The energy was electric as we mixed and mingled with our friends from Fuse and Atlanta Ad Club. Whether sharing marketing wins from 2024 or dreaming up collaborations for the year ahead, the conversations were as fresh as the footwear. A massive shoutout to our amazing sponsors The Aaron's Company, Inc., Edible Arrangements, BIG HAPPY, LoopMe, and 24 Seven Talent for helping us close out the year on a high note. Your support keeps our community stepping forward together. Here's to more memories, more connections, and yes—more legendary sneaker moments in 2025! 👟✨
