Our history: 30+ years of success

Building a brand that lasts

A relentless pursuit of excellence, a willingness to embrace challenges as opportunities to adapt and grow, and a confident approach to meeting every client’s requirements beyond their expectations – these are the guiding principles that have empowered Jones Worley’s growth and longevity.

The Jones Worley story reached its first major turning point just three years after opening its doors when the Atlanta-based, woman-owned firm was awarded a coveted contract to help plan and design the “look” of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. With the eyes of the world looking on, Jones Worley collaborated with the architectural team engaged by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to design the International Concourse E, which became the literal gateway for more than two million international attendees and Olympic athletes from a record 197 nations. Successful management of that high-profile project helped Jones Worley win nearly 30 contracts as part of the construction of $600 million in venues and facilities that became part of Atlanta’s Olympic Games legacy. These earned the firm broader recognition and credibility as a tested and proven agency.

As Jones Worley celebrates more than 30 years in business, it continues to expand its impressive portfolio. The firm’s creative communications initiatives help millions of people across the country navigate busy airports, transit systems, hotels, hospitals, office complexes, entertainment and sports arenas, college campuses, public spaces, and conference centers. Jones Worley projects have been critical to the success of education, safety, B2B, employee, customer, and public outreach.

Certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation as a disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) in 28 states and the District of Columbia, as well as a female-owned business enterprise (FBE), Jones Worley today remains a first choice for many clients. They trust the firm’s experienced team of professionals to listen, understand project requirements, and consistently deliver results on time and within budget.
