We’re Tailfin.

An independent advertising shop, nestled in the heart of Atlanta’s Virginia-Highland neighborhood. (And we like it that way.) 

You won’t find a parking deck, elevator or doorman around here. That’s by design. We set out to create the kind of agency we’d all love to work for—a place with less bureaucracy and more room for bold ideas. And it starts at our very accessible front door.

Do great work
Be good people

Toss out all the old advertising clichés and, for us, it all boils down to these six words. It’s what brought us all here. And what drives us to care so much—about the work, about the brands we partner with, and about each other.

We strive to be indispensable to our clients. And to do it, we lean on our core principles in everything we do:

We care.

We work hard, go the extra mile, and deliver beyond the ask.

We dare.

We help our clients embrace discomfort and take smart risks.

We follow through.

We stay engaged and responsive, and we own our choices.

We partner up.

We forge true partnerships with our clients and vendors. Stronger bonds make better work.

We never stop moving.

We promote persistent curiosity, always questioning, learning, iterating, and improving.

Are we a match?

We like to think of ourselves as big and boutique—bringing together big ideas and a proven approach with boutique-style craft and care. 

If you love big agency thinking, but loathe the big agency bloat, you’ve come to the right place. Or, if you’re a challenger brand that’s ready to level up, we might have the perfect mix of experience and efficiency to get you there.

There’s only one way to find out.

Our clients

HydraFacial

“Tailfin executed a wildly successful global campaign for us, and it launched our brand to another level. But what impressed me most was their ability to fix any problem with such ease that I never knew there was an issue until they told me they’d solved it.”

– Rosemarie Holcomb, The HydraFacial Company

PruittHealth

“My day-to-day Tailfin contacts are consistent, professional, experienced – and fun to work with. They are experts at what they do, deliver great work on time (or early), and can skillfully shift from creative brainstorming to strategic discussions.”

– Tonja Bridges, PruittHealth

JLLT

“Our elevator pitch used to take 102 floors. Now it takes 2. Tailfin took our complex messaging and made it simple, and simply compelling.”

– Tim Bernardez, JLLT

KSU

“Since the re-brand, let’s just say I finally see a lot more of our KSU swag on campus – and a lot fewer UGA shirts.”

– Tim Falvai, Kennesaw State University

It’s hard to
outcare us.
