Authentic Connection = Brand Magic

Great brands are those that spark a little light in those who interact with them – when buying a product goes beyond a simple transaction and strikes positive emotion for the human being purchasing it. That process, that switch, it doesn’t happen by chance. It takes thoughtful, purposeful cultivation of your community – and thinking of them as actual humans. And that is precisely where we come in.

Millie means “strong in her work” and we take our name seriously. We diligently approach our work, using proven omnichannel marketing strategies to forge passionate communities full of real, authentic people.

  • I felt a connection with Jenn right away. She was genuinely enthusiastic about my project and what I wanted to accomplish with it and came right out of the gate with some simple ideas to get started with. She was worth every penny; I look forward to the day I can hire her on in a more consistent basis.

    CHRISTY JOHNSON
    Founder, The List

  • Millie is an absolute dream to work with. I can feel their passion in everything they do. They keep me organized and on track for growth in my business, and also come to me with new ideas and opportunities. Most importantly, they listen and follow through when we discuss new things. 

    SHANNON BUTH
    Founder + CEO, House of Shan

  • I've never met anyone who communicates as well as Jenn does. I was able to dump my disorganized thoughts into her highly-organized brain and she brought it to life! She excels in the foundational, deep-thinking work many Founders/CEOs don't have time for.

    RACHEL AMUNDSON
    Founder, Nautical Bowls

  • Millie helped me elevate my social media to the next level. They gave me valuable guidance regarding the types of content that would make an impact, helped to form my strategy and narrow in my ideas. And, Jenn cheered me on along the way. They are such a pleasure to work with -- responsive, encouraging and inspiring. I highly recommend Jenn and her team to anyone looking to grow their social media presence and business.

    AMY MACKENZIE
    Founder, Imperfect Nutrition

  • We love working with Jenn and her team. We're now on a more consistent posting schedule and have seen our engagement climb - hitting that 10k mark for the first time ever! We are focusing on content that attracts not only guests but new hires, and are really feeling the results. They are a delight to work with and I'd recommend them to any business looking to prioritize their social media.

    JESS REIPKE
    Co-Founder & CEO, HAUS Salon

  • Jenn is so easy to work with and the Millie team met me and my business where it was at to help me curate a plan that fit my current schedule. My social media growth had halted and I was in a rut in terms of creating new content. Within two months of working with Millie, I have seen significant growth in reach and following (over 30% increase in reach in just the last 30 days!). They gave me ideas, cheered me on, and have taught me so much about content strategies and trends. Can’t wait to see what else we can do together!

The Heart of Millie

Jenn Mahlik

FOUNDER + CEO

After 16+ years in corporate marketing for global retail brands, Jenn identified a need for brands (business and personal) to have approachable access to marketing, community, and social media management — all rooted in trust, not transactions. With a diverse background ranging from social to influencers to event marketing to copywriting to ambassador programs to retail management, Jenn loves to create omnichannel, intentional solutions to a brand’s community building and marketing challenges.

Jenn lives in a suburb west of Minneapolis with her husband Ben, two girls (Harriet and Louise) and sheepadoodle Eddie. She’s fueled by iced coffee, Pilates, and business and health podcasts (don’t get her started on habit stacking).
