     The agency is providing Atlanta Urban Ministries with strategic communications planning, audit of existing activities and oversight of new materials to promote the good work the nonprofit provides to the community and to differentiate it from other worthwhile organizations serving the area.

     “We cannot thank William Mills Agency enough for assisting us with our outreach efforts,” said Vanessa Milton, director of Atlanta Urban Ministries. “Atlanta Urban Ministries benefits from having outside assistance that can provide us with innovative ideas on how to share information about our programs. With the help of the William Mills Agency staff, we have the skills and talent needed to reach our communication goals.”
