Area15 http://areafifteen.com Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:39:02 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 JDW: The Charlotte Agency http://areafifteen.com/2010/07/28/jdw-the-charlotte-agency/ http://areafifteen.com/2010/07/28/jdw-the-charlotte-agency/#comments Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:54:46 +0000 admin http://areafifteen.com/?p=466 JDW: The Charlotte Agency is the Generation Y version of a marketing agency. Lovable, grounded in research, and edgy, JDW stands for what marketing agencies used to be. In a society where consumers have just as big of a voice as business, marketing agencies must be that skilled middleman to translate. JDW does everything from website development and content, to marketing campaigns and logos.

JDW operates under a S.M.O.O.T.H. philosophy (we’re not going to tell you what it stands for here, you gotta come and ask) and believes that questioning norms and going against the grain is the only way a community can progress.

The Charlotte Agency supports new and small businesses in Charlotte. A city is only as strong as the group of small business entrepreneurs holding it up.

Moses walked toward that bush out of curiosity & peaked interest, but he walked away with an authentic God-encounter, & a mad mission to cultivate friendship with God & help bring justice & generosity to a people in great need. 24-7, an urban burning bush, is made up of branches/people from all over the city.

24-7 space

Called to be a resource for the churches & a refuge for the spiritually hungry, 24-7 uses intensely creative & culturally relevant on-ramps to instigate intimacy with God & involvement in social justice, it’s what we do. It’s all we do. This Charlotte 24-7 is a local branch of a global prayer movement called 24-7Prayer.
