Our mission? To rally our community around great ideas, with the goal of strengthening our local economy and drawing attention to the Midlands and to South Carolina as a destination for high quality of life. We use a variety of outreach tactics to accomplish this for our clients, whether their community is a neighborhood or a nation. We specialize in development and execution of large-scale, integrated communications plans; brand launches for new companies and organizations; long-term marketing planning for institutions and nonprofit organizations; event-based marketing for nonprofits in the arts, tech, social services; and more. Before forming Flock and Rally in 2010, partners Debi Schadel and Tracie Broom each worked independently for over a decade in marketing, event planning, editorial, project management and online content development for clients ranging from the Columbia QuadSquad Rollergirls and real estate mogul Don Tomlin to national brands like Toyota, Hilton, and Spa Magazine. The Flock and Rally team continues to grow, and we're lucky to be collaborating with the most innovative makers and doers in the Carolinas.

MKP Creative isn't a PR Agency, and it's not a design, ad, or marketing firm. It's a hybrid. Maggie Palmer - a writer, former television producer and marketing executive - started the Portland based company to give businesses an alternative to hiring big agencies, or paying for separate freelancers to do different aspects of marketing and PR. This creates a cohesiveness to marketing plans that doesn’t exist when you have too many people working separately, and hits the bottom line for your budget that’s difficult to attain when working with traditional agencies.We spend time on-site with the client, learn every facet of how their products or services work, consult with the sales team to see how they do their job and who the customer is. Then we create a cohesive communications plan that blends social media marketing, blogger outreach, SEM and SEO work, traditional print PR and direct email campaigns, as well as coordinating media buys and print ads.
