On February 27th, members of the Atlanta design community gathered at Holland MacRae in Buckhead to celebrate Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Publisher Elizabeth Ralls and the launch of her company, Buckhead Crown Media, the new owner of AH&L. Guests enjoyed cocktails and light bites with music by Travis Harris and framed works by Terry Allen.

During her combined 13 years with the publication, including seven years as Editor-in-Chief and 5+ years as Publisher, Ralls has successfully launched new design franchises, expanded AH&L’s influence into key second-home territories, and fine-tuned the publication’s brand identity so that it can remain a top resource for the Atlanta design community. Now taking over ownership from Esteem Media, Inc., Ralls is enthusiastically looking toward the future.

“For 19 years, Adam Japko and Esteem Media have helped propel Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ brand reach well beyond the borders of the Southeast and into the national design conversation,” she says. “Under the Buckhead Crown Media umbrella, I’m excited about the ways in which local ownership will inform the future of the brand’s hyper-local connection to both our tight-knit Southeastern design community and niche consumer audiences.”
