"Passionate and astute, Michelle is a powerhouse of communications expertise. She helped us kickstart The Writing Department's social media strategy as we prepared to launch our new website, and it was time well spent. Her customized approach delivered results quickly, and she gave us specific strategies and tools that will work for us now and in the future."
- Jill Roberts, Director & Founder, The Writing Department
“We hired Michelle via Maven & Mention to help manage social media for Benevity’s big client conference months ago (which she knocked out of the ball park) and continue to work with Michelle to this day… we simply couldn’t let her go! She’s passionate, strategic, thoughtful, organized, detail oriented, sees projects/campaigns through from start to finish and is an overall gem of a person.”
- Andrea Davis, Media and Communications Manager, Benevity
“I love working with Michelle! She has helped me articulate my passion and business vision into a beautiful reality. I started with a business name and a logo, and now have a beautiful website, solid content strategy and storytelling to help launch my new business and bring my brand to life. Michelle helped me reignite a huge spark of excitement along with the peace that comes from having everything well laid-out, beautifully designed, clear and concise. Her support means everything to me. I highly recommend Maven & Mention. Michelle is awesome!”
- Ola Domaradz, Founder & Parenting Coach, ABCparenting
“We hired Michelle to create for us a social media marketing strategy. As a team, we know what we do but we needed to find ways to tell our story to others. Michelle brought our work to life with personas that are rich in character, graphics that are bright and fun and capture our culture. She was easy to work with, providing a fast turn-around and quality pieces that inspired us. Her creations and suggestions have attracted a larger audience, an increase in social media engagement and a roadmap that reduces the work for our team. Thanks Michelle, you have provided a h!p way for us to tell our story!”
- Janica Fisher, Executive Director, Humanity in Practice Foundation (h!p)
“We had an amazing experience working with Michelle from Maven & Mention. As the founders of a new wine label, we knew that brand storytelling would be extremely important for us. Michelle helped us tell our story on our wine bottle and in our marketing materials in a way that felt authentic and relatable. There are thousands of wine labels out there, so it was particularly important that potential customers connected with the words on our label. With a limited amount of space, she was able to capture the essence of our brand in only four short phrases. We would highly recommend her!”
- Jim & Jaime Love, Co-Founders, Hello Someday Wine
“Personable, thorough and incredibly efficient is what stood out for me working with Michelle. Having Michelle conduct a digital media audit was an eye-opening and rewarding experience. Her attention to detail is exceptional — the quick wins and next steps are clear, concise and have given me the tools to move forward. Thank you, Michelle, for giving me the direction I desperately needed.”

"Maven & Mention invested their time into understanding the Work Nicer brand and the members that call this coworking community home. Working with our team, Maven & Mention provided stellar social media content driven by an informed content strategy to support our goals in sharing success stories of members and entrepreneurs. Not only did Michelle deliver on-point content, she also empowered our team with resources to continue executing the vision for social media on our own. The team relies on Maven & Mention templates and research to better inform content strategy today."
- Phoebe Davis, Stage Manager, Work Nicer Coworking
“Maven & Mention helped us build our social media presence when we first started our company. Michelle showed us how using social media and connecting with local influencers could help us build our brand and grow our online presence — which turned into an increase in sales! Michelle was very knowledgeable and fabulous to work with. We are now a thriving business because she helped guide us in the right direction. Thank you, Maven & Mention!”
- Nicole Buckton, Pastry Chef & Owner, Those Chocolates

Her natural creativity helped us boost followers on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Michelle inspired us with a lot of ideas that we still use today.”
