SUCCESS STORIES


Exhibits South, a woman owned creative design and development firm that specializes in marketing and sales exhibits for trade shows and museums, completed The Coca-Cola Company's MWBE Supplier Mentoring Program in 2007.  The Mentoring Program objective is to develop the competitiveness of minority and women owned businesses by performing SWOT analysis to identify areas of opportunity for improvement and providing that support.  Each mentee is paired with an internal coach/mentor who works with the supplier for one year.  According to Marlene Kelly, Exhibits South's President and CEO, her mentee experience exceeded expectations.  Marlene gained valuable skills in marketing, sales presentations and networking.  Since completion of the program, Exhibit South has expanded it's business with The Coca-Cola Company and other national firms.

Digital 21, a minority owned digital marketing and consulting firm specializing in delivering innovative interactive marketing and media solutions, quickly developed a relationship with The Coca-Cola Company in 2009.  It was through their affiliation with The Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council that they secured a contract with The Coca-Cola Company.The Office of Supplier Diversity gave Digital 21 the opportunity to enhance the department’s on-line presence. With the reoccurring recognitions the department has received over the years, Digital 21 found a way to capture these honors in an creative and dynamic view. This resulted in a colorful, flowing and graphically appealing website which bares the company-wide Coca-Cola theme and provided vibrant elements. Digital 21 was selected as one of three firms to present capabilities to glaucea’s marketing management team, and their work on the supplier diversity website drew attention from the Coke.net web management team.  Erik Tubbs and Anthony Harris, Managing Partners for Digital 21, are contented to continue working with The Coca-Cola Company and believe this is the start of a long lasting mutually beneficial partnership.
