Modern Atlanta

MA Agency is in the business of design communication, public relations, marketing, event creation and organization. Its activities are elevated, progressive, well attended, and defines modern urban culture in Atlanta, Georgia as it should be, within the established fields of interdisciplinary and international design. Bernard Mccoy and Elayne DeLeo, producers of high profile design events in Atlanta, Georgia, founded the agency as a conduit for creative expression serving the city’s international design community and as a effective means of extending and targeting designer brands and services to design-savvy consumers across the southeast region.
