What We’re Passionate About
At Hussey Gay Bell, marketers are more than just marketers. We are collaboration crusaders inching the niche and technical details of hundreds (if not thousands) of projects out of our engineers and architects and turning those technical key points into beautiful stories reflected in a true and compelling way. At Hussey Gay Bell, we value storytelling in all aspects of our written, visual and digital work. After all, it’s a bit more than just being “an activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large” isn’t it? It’s a bit more about creating firm awareness through engagement of our firm/our people in the communities in which we all work, live and play in. It’s about building and differentiating our brand not through the traditional lens of advertising but through execution of small and notable projects that impact the everyday life. It’s about our brand being true to itself, yet evolving to serve the needs of its clients and communicating that message internally and externally.
Marketing for our firm is about taking some of the most complex projects in the region and breaking them down into digestible morsels to be consumed in the written word or visually by the general public, society and clients. It’s about communicating the impact a project has on a city, a county, a state and in some cases, an entire region. At Hussey Gay Bell, we work on projects that have literally shaped the region – from the infamous red brick waterfront Rousakis Plaza on River Street in Savannah, the 2,500 acre planned unit development of Savannah Quarters off the I-95 corridor in Pooler and the massive JC Bamford operations on I-95 to the 2,000 acre Palmetto Dunes Resort on Hilton Head Island, the Marketfair Mall redevelopment in Fayetteville and The Boeing Company’s 787 Expansion in North Charleston. Today, the firm continues its work on some of the region’s most exciting projects including the $270 million Savannah Convention Center Expansion, the City of Savannah’s new $165 million arena, Georgia Port Authority’s new HQ campus, Augusta’s $32 million Broad Street Revitalization, SEDA’s 685-acre Savannah Chatham Manufacturing Center, Raydient Place+Properties’ 5,000 acre tract off of I-95 and a host of massive infrastructure projects for the City of Columbia and Charleston Water System.
