Why I Started MB Creative
The Moment I Realized Every Small Business Owner Deserves to Feel Confident in Their Marketing
When we moved to Wyoming, I took a job at a local economic development organization to help my family get settled in our new town. With my background in entrepreneurship and firsthand experience running my own business, I understood the struggles small business owners face all too well. What disappointed me was discovering I couldn't support the local business community in the way I'd hoped.
So I took matters into my own hands and created MB Creative (formerly Missy Burns Creative) to help local businesses with an aspect that often gets overlooked or treated as an afterthought: marketing.
The Overwhelm is Real
When I ran my own catering business, I got completely overwhelmed by all the marketing hype, trends, and tactics swirling around. I felt like I had to do everything, all the time, all at once. I was wrong.
The truth? I needed to focus on what made sense for MY business—not necessarily what everyone else was doing. Community and connection were the driving forces behind my previous business, and they're the foundation of this one too.
Your audience wants to feel connected to you. They want to relate to you. But most importantly, they want their problems solved by someone they trust.
Building Something That Lasts
Through the years, I've learned that building a strong brand foundation is the key to a business that doesn't just survive, but thrives and grows consistently. The problem? Not everyone has the creative ability, time, mental capacity, or desire to become a marketing expert. You started your business because you're exceptional at something—and that something might not be in the creative marketing realm.
That's exactly why I do what I do, and why I love it. My focus is being an unofficial partner in your business, helping you create a rock-solid brand foundation and marketing plan so you can keep doing what you love while staying visible—even during the busiest seasons when time feels impossible to find.
