Obsessively optimistic, exceptionally creative marketing and design solutions

Here's our Elevator Pitch.

Optimist Creative is a full-service marketing communications agency based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Formerly Marie Hicks Marketing & Design (Saggese-Hicks, Inc. Advertising), we specialize in innovative branding campaigns powered by creative excellence and proven cross-channel marketing solutions. 

We are committed to providing superior marketing strategies and visually stunning design solutions that enhance brand personalities, generate leads, capture customer loyalty, and grow market share for our clients.

For over 20 years, we've served several vertical markets including commercial real estate, healthcare, mergers and acquisitions, bank marketing, architecture and engineering, granite fabrication, environmental equipment, and more.

Creativity is our Magic Sauce.

We are happiest when we're being creative. Using our skills to drive a client's success is the icing on the creative cake for us. We are passionate about all things creative. It genuinely makes our day when clients ask us to "work our magic on a new project" for them. We're thrilled when they refer to us as their "marketing partner."

Obsessively optimistic, we live on the sunny side of the street when it comes to branding strategies. Sometimes, when we're lucky, this bright side of our street has a beach view. Literally. Since we are landlocked Atlantans, we recharge our creative energies by visiting a beach every chance we get, although we also thrive on Atlanta's vibrant metro energy when we're in fast forward mode. Luckily for us, we have an amazing network of bicoastal creative resources and friends.
