We Are South. This battle cry is more than three small words. It represents the hard work and late nights it took for Mike and Cynthia to start South at a kitchen table. It stirs within us a fierce loyalty to each other, it fires us up, and it unites us all in a common mission: to establish ourselves as a premier agency, measured by the success and satisfaction of our clients.
The story of Alison South transcends location. Our offices are located in the South, but we were raised, travel, and work all over the country. Diversity is reflected not only in our team, but also in the concepts and ideas we bring to the table to market your business. We've found that free food promotes the best ideas, and ours are created during Freestyle Friday or Monday
Brunch-N-Learns. If you stop by our office there's a good chance you can sit in on a brainstorming session, see teams at work creating the next great campaign, and possibly catch at least one person singing or dancing for no apparent reason. Mic drop. Not to be confused with Mike Drop, though that's not out of the question either.
