3 Reasons We are Thankful

THANK YOU for your business, follows, likes, and telling others about Marken Media! Together, we're part of an amazing entrepreneur community that's making a difference!

Awesome things have happened as a result. Here's just a few of the ways we've helped busy business owners in 2023:

- We met with dozens of you in person and online for a Marken Map™,

then built a step-by-step directional marketing map for your success.

- We launched 6 brand new websites.
Congrats to Paramo Painting, Mumme's Gun Room, Land and Ranch Rentals & Supplies, Galm Real Estate, Studio M, and 2E Custom Homes.

- One of our social media clients, Adesuwa from Asukar, landed a spot on Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship -- on her first attempt which is unheard of in the biz.


- We connected in-person at workshops throughout the year with the Hondo Chamber, Castroville Chamber, and Helotes Chamber.

We're proud to serve you:

Agribusinesses, churches and nonprofits,

realtors and home builders, service providers and more!


Here are three things we're thankful for...

Faith

I have a poster above my computer at the office that reads, "Work like it all depends on you. Pray like it all depends on God." This year, I've changed the theme to: "Work like it all depends on you. Rest like you know it all depends on God."

We've been more intentional this year about resting and investing in the slower seasons so that we're ready to give it 110% when things are busy, hectic, and wild. All the while knowing it's God who provides!

Family

Life as an entrepreneur's kid is kind of like the Olive Garden slogan, "When you're here, you're family" if you add... "Because when you're family, you are here."

The kids don't get much choice! They're coming along to the office, they tag along to the local business event, they're in the background during the photo shoot or video meeting.

We are so thankful for our family. Our kiddos are along for the ride for much of our work. Because of this front-row seat to growing a business, they've seen their parents try new things, be beginners, and learn how to overcome obstacles.


Freedom

We are thankful for our country and our freedom. In a world of unrest and bad news on every channel, there is still much to be thankful for. We have the power to grow a strong, vibrant business. We can freely serve the marketplace from a foundation of faith while supporting our family's values.

Since we started our business in 2017, so much has changed in our world. We're grateful to be one of the 3.1 million small businesses in the great State of Texas. We might be biased, but we live in a truly welcoming and vivacious community here in Medina County.

There are good things coming!
