In their words

What it's like to work with me:

Whether it was brainstorming the perfect tagline or developing a comprehensive content strategy, McKenzie’s attention to detail and strategic thinking were invaluable. She had a natural knack for understanding how language can affect people’s perceptions, and she helped us elevate our brand voice to connect with our target audience on a deeper level.

She takes chaos and turns it into order. Inevitably when starting a new marketing team, a flexible growth mindset is critical — where McKenzie shines is infectiously sharing that mindset with others on the team, helping everyone to not only think, but truly believe the most challenging of goals is not only attainable but inevitable.
Patrick Ward
Director, Institutional Marketing, Vanguard
I highly recommend McKenzie if you're looking for help with content creation, strategy, digital marketing management, and more. She is extremely talented, capable, and is not afraid of a challenge.

About

Who is McKenzie?

Hi — I’m McKenzie. You’re probably here because you’re thinking about hiring me. Hence the URL.

My path here has twists. I taught myself marketing during the pandemic, taking every writing job on Upwork I could get. When Las Vegas reopened I moved into B2B sales, placing beverage menus in casinos and restaurants, and grew my account list by 25%. I’d have happily stayed — until a former coworker called and asked if I wanted to work for MrBeast. Who says no to that?

I dove into it headfirst. On day one, I learned I had two weeks to build a camera plan for a remote island in the Bahamas in July. I managed dozens of cameras and eight contractors in my first video, and went on to work on several more. Later came .Monks, where I rebuilt brand storytelling and a case study method for a company mid-merger. When a second call asking if I wanted to work for MrBeast again, this time on Beast Games, again, I couldn’t say no. I joined as a credited producer, and while I’m proud of the time I spent there, I have permanently decided to leave Beast in the past and focus on humbler avenues.

Since then I’ve been on the freelance scene, exploring how digital marketing done well can positively impact businesses. I taught myself web development (like my website? I made it!) and I look forward to using all of my skills and experiences to help others thrive — because good businesses make the world go ’round.

A Swiss Army knife with a can of Red Bull. I can do it all — energetically, enthusiastically, and exceptionally.
