What We Do

Let's cut through the corporate BS, shall we? At MKMC, we don't do buzzwords, pointless meetings, or those soul-crushing PowerPoint decks that make you question your life choices. If a meeting should be an email, we send an email. We're avid users of Loom, so if an issue takes more than a short paragraph to describe, we record a brief video to explain it.What we do is help businesses get their marketing and customer experience right by being real, building genuine relationships, and actually enjoying the work we do.Whether you need a fractional CMO to guide your strategy, want to level up your customer experience, or are ready to embrace AI without the techno-babble, we're your people. Think of us as the rebels who actually get results – we just do it wearing jeans instead of suits, and we promise to never, ever use the phrase 'synergistic paradigm shifts' in your presence.
