Public Relations RFP Issued For Atlanta PR Firm

Centennial Park District in Atlanta is seeking a PR firm. They seek to:

• Distinguish the Centennial Park District as Atlanta’s premier entertainment district
• Influence positive perceptions about the Centennial Park District brand and asset
• Drive increased visitation and length of stay within the District among metro residents

The Luckie Marietta District (LMD) was established in 2008 as a private membership alliance to promote the burgeoning entertainment district that surrounds Centennial Olympic Park. In 2016, LMD stakeholders embarked on an extensive rebranding effort to create what is now known as the Centennial Park District, or CPD. CPD is supported by area businesses and is administered through Central Atlanta Progress (CAP). The Centennial Park District features a wide variety of entertainment venues, restaurants, lounges, hotels, professional sports teams, retail, businesses and residential homes. The District’s unique experiences make it the ideal escape for date night, a day with the family, happy hour with coworkers or cheering the Falcons to victory with 71,000 of your closest friends. It is a special place where iconic memories are made.
