charbaxter.communications Expands Offices
Renovation More Than Doubles Existing Space

June 1, 2000 — Atlanta, GA — charbaxter.communications announced today that it has expanded its offices in northeast Atlanta to accommodate a growing creative team.

A national advertising agency, charbaxter.communications was one of the first brand-building agencies for technology and e-technology companies. Late last year, the firm purchased an office building adjacent to its headquarters at 2853 Henderson Mill Road, and recently completed connecting the two structures and renovating the new space. The acquisition increases the size of the agency's offices from 4,300 to nearly 10,000 square feet.

"We're excited about our new space and what it holds for the future of our agency," said Char Baxter, CEO of charbaxter.communications. "It enables us to further serve our growing client base, expand our in-house branding, advertising and marketing team, provide more space to our digital broadcast unit, and accommodate a new division soon to be announced."

The agency expansion is well-timed to meet the needs of a growing roster of clients. It also coincides with charbaxter.communications' launch of a new branding initiative - more.think™ - a new logo and a new advertising and public relations campaign that articulates the agency's booming growth in the technology and e-technology markets, as well as its depth of expertise in those fields.

The agency recently signed these new clients: Extant, Inc., Denver; MindLever.com, Raleigh; and these Atlanta-based companies-Firstwave Technologies, idMon Corporation, OckhamTechnologies, o2wireless Solutions, Porter & Associates, Prescient Consulting and RunEvent.com.
