About Us
Our mission:
To save the world from the bland and boring, pedestrian and ineffective marketing that threatens to numb consumers to death on a daily basis.
Shepherd is a full-service Jacksonville and Atlanta ad agency that has been crafting smart, creative consumer and business-to-business marketing solutions since 1984.
Founded by Robin Shepherd as a creative studio, our team brings more than three decades of insights and perspectives gained by working with a broad range of regional, national and global B2B and B2C companies. We know that great work is not created in departments or silos, so our team of strategists, artists, developers, media buyers and public relations professionals work together to craft seamless, idea-driven, integrated solutions that solve YOUR challenges.
Where we are
Based in Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida, we provide advertising, design, digital marketing and public relations in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Toronto, France and more.
