Goodbyes are rarely happily uttered. Once Creative Director at Fitzgerald+CO and most recently Creative Director/Partner at Ivory, Inc., Atlanta notable, Eddie Snyder has moved on and away from the environs of our gracious city.

Snyder joined the Zimmerman Agency, a $60 million advertising and PR firm located in Tallahassee, Florida. As Senior Vice President and Creative Director there, Snyder will be responsible for raising the “agency’s profile in major award shows.” In his own words, “my job is to not only build our clients’ businesses, but the agency’s portfolio. It’s an amazing opportunity.”

Snyder has been a leader of advertising in the southeast having served as Chairman of ShowSouth and President of the Creative Club of Atlanta. Named “Best Agency Art Director in Atlanta” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Snyder’s career includes work for the island of Aruba, Coca-Cola, Russell Athletic Wear, AFLAC, National Black Arts Festival. Over the years, Snyder has reeled in some illustrious awards including Cannes, One Show, PRINT, CA, Graphis and the New York Art Directors Club.

The Zimmerman agency has had two high profile creative directors over the past decade; Daniel Russ, presently Creative Director at GSD&M and Lee St. James, currently Creative Director for Saatchi in New York.
