Pop’N Creative, an Atlanta-based, Black women-owned multicultural marketing firm focused on digital and social campaigns, content creation and experience design, is named agency of record for the 2021 season of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream. Pop’N Creative will drive the team’s brand awareness, amplify their social impact and enhance player profiles with the #DoItForTheDream campaign. The campaign is spearheaded by Dream president Suzanne Abair and vice president and former Dream point guard Renee Montgomery, who sat out the 2020 season in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. It is aimed at challenging the systemic barriers—access, investment, infrastructure and representation—faced by people of color. Abair said the team was impressed by Pop’N Creative’s “creative and strategic thinking and we are confident they will elevate our mission to give back to the community.” Abair and Montgomery, along with Northland founder and chairman Larry Gottesdiener, purchased the team, which had been partly owned by former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler, in February.
