To the small businesses doing it all… we see you.

The early mornings, the last-minute pivots, the wearing of every hat. It does not go unnoticed.

May is National Small Business Month, and we are celebrating the businesses that keep showing up for their customers, their teams and their communities. As a small business ourselves, we get it.

At MMC, we have built our work around helping small businesses tell their stories in a way that actually connects. Because great businesses deserve to be seen, understood and chosen.

Here’s to growing together, supporting each other and making a bigger impact, one business at a time!

When Jennifer brought her Atlanta Humane Society foster puppy, Diamond, to the office, the MMC team had exactly one priority: puppy kisses.🐶

At Michael Mackenzie Communications, a lot of our work comes down to building real connections with clients, communities and audiences. Apparently, that skill translates pretty well to puppies, too!

It was a sweet mid-workday reminder that there’s always room for a little personality, a little pause and a lot of puppy love.🩷🐾

P.S. Diamond is looking for her furever home! Learn more about her here: https://atlantahumane.org/adopt/dogs/pet-details-dogs/?aid=60804389&cid=13&tid=Dog

A great night to do business in Roswell, and a great night for a lucky win! 🎉

Jennifer represented MMC at Roswell Inc’s Evening Connect, hosted by LGE Community Credit Union. Thank you for putting together such a great event for our local business community!

And to top it off, she won this amazing gift basket! While the STANLEY bottle is pretty great, Jennifer’s favorite might be the custom Sonoma Laser Engraving business card holder. 😉

Think LinkedIn hiring starts with posting a job? Think again.

Some of the best candidates never come through job boards, they come through connections, referrals and visibility.

That’s why the way you show up on LinkedIn matters.

Instead of long job descriptions, the most effective hiring posts are short, clear and built to spark interest, just like good marketing.

In this blog, written by MMC Account Manager Angela Wijesinghe, we’re sharing how to use LinkedIn to attract the right candidates without relying on job postings.

Is YouTube really just a streaming platform… or is it still social media? 👀
Google says one thing, but marketers (and 2.7 BILLION users) might say otherwise.

In this blog, Jennifer Koon dives into why YouTube remains one of the most valuable social media platforms for businesses, especially when it comes to reaching audiences and building long-term visibility.

💡 The takeaway? You don’t need millions of views to see results; you just need the right audience.

If you’re not using YouTube as part of your marketing strategy, now’s the time to rethink it.

Small change, big difference 🌎♻️

This Earth Day, we’re starting something simple in our office—adding a recycling bin for glass and aluminum in our kitchen.

It’s a small step, but it’s how better habits begin.

Celebrating excellence in the legal community 👟✨

This past Saturday, Jennifer and Peyton attended the Annual Dinner & Sneakerball hosted by GAWL - Georgia Association for Women Lawyers — an evening dedicated to honoring the incredible women making an impact across the legal profession.

As a proud Diamond Sponsor and the marketing team behind GAWL’s social media and email newsletters, it’s an honor to support and help amplify the work of such a powerful organization.

From the inspiring award recognitions to the energy in the room, it was a night that truly reflected the strength and leadership within this community!

🚨 Who actually owns your business social media accounts? (Hint: it should NOT be your agency.)

It’s one of the most overlooked risks in digital marketing, and it can cost you your audience, your data and your entire online presence.

In our latest blog, Jennifer Koon breaks down why businesses must retain ownership of their social media accounts, ad platforms and digital assets and how to set everything up the right way from the start.

If your marketing agency created your accounts under their login… You may not fully control your brand. And if that relationship ends, getting access back isn’t always guaranteed.

This is a must-read for business owners, marketing directors and anyone investing in social media marketing, paid ads or brand growth.

Our newest “team members” understood the assignment 🎨🍫
Between decorating the office with their artwork and keeping our chocolate bowl full, last week’s spring break crew brought the kind of creativity we love to see!

If only all brainstorming sessions included paint and candy… we might be onto something 👀
