For years, D7 has partnered with Georgia-Pacific to deliver creative solutions that work at scale—and in the real world. It’s a long-standing partnership built on trust, shared standards, and a clear understanding of how Georgia-Pacific operates across offices, mills, and manufacturing facilities.

Creative That Attracts Talent and Engages Teams

Named one of Forbes’ America’s Best Large Employers, Georgia-Pacific puts people at the center of everything it does. We partner with Georgia-Pacific to create consistent, on-brand recruiting and internal communications—helping attract new talent while keeping current employees challenged, informed, and engaged. The result is creative that supports a strong employee experience, and reflects why Georgia-Pacific is a great place to work and a great company to partner with.

A Day-to-Day Creative Partner

  • Print and digital advertising

  • Internal communications and employee newsletters

  • Human resources and employee benefits materials

  • Event branding and seasonal communications

  • Community service and culture-focused initiatives

  • Custom, unconventional projects

Helping Share Georgia-Pacific’s Story—Past and Present

Founded in 1927, Georgia-Pacific has grown from a regional lumber business into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of paper, packaging, and building products. Throughout that growth, Georgia-Pacific has remained deeply committed to the communities where its employees live and work. D7 is proud to be one of Georgia-Pacific’s creative partners, supporting that legacy through work that reflects both the scale of the business and the values behind it.

Turning Sustainability Commitments Into Clear Stories

Sustainability is a long-term priority for Georgia-Pacific—guiding how the company sources materials, operates facilities, and supports the future of the communities it serves. D7 partners with Georgia-Pacific to help explain those commitments in clear, creative ways—supporting transparency, education, and real-world impact without overcomplicating the story.

Creative That Connects With Teams Where They Are

D7 supports Georgia-Pacific beyond corporate offices—working alongside Communications and Marketing teams and supporting the people in GP’s mills and manufacturing facilities. With more than 150 facilities across North America, including manufacturing plants, mills, and processing locations, clear communication has to work in a lot of different environments. We help turn important messages—around safety, hiring, operations, and culture—into straightforward, consistent creative that reaches employees where they work and helps keep everyone connected.

A Creative Partner for Every Message

Much of D7’s work with Georgia-Pacific focuses on the details that shape how the brand shows up day to day. From annual holiday cards and airport graphics to layouts and visuals for employee news, we design materials that employees and audiences interact with regularly. These projects require consistency, care, and a deep understanding of the brand—ensuring each touchpoint feels intentional, cohesive, and unmistakably Georgia-Pacific.

Our ongoing partnership with Georgia-Pacific reflects a long-term creative relationship built around availability, continuity, and follow-through. The work itself spans many formats and audiences, but the core of the engagement has remained the same: providing dependable design support that fits into an existing organization and responds to changing needs over time.
