Our Clients

"Our experience with Mill + Co. has been a positive one. Rachel is smart and organized and was effective at asking the right questions to learn about our business and what we were looking for. She and her team were always professional, flexible, and very responsive to our needs; they were able to keep our project moving and on track, despite everyone’s busy schedules."

"From day one, working with Rachel was like working with an old friend. She really understood our brand, asked thoughtprovoking questions to learn more about our goals and presented ideas in a genuinely thoughtful manner. She is a great listener, creative thinker and dedicated partner. Rachel worked really hard for us and was so generous with her time and expertise. Her one goal was to support my business, in any way she possibly could, in achieving ours."

"Mill + Co. answered our call with bold generosity, creating a marketing campaign that was executed with proven results: giving countless pets second chances and happy homes. Rachel’s passion for brand strategy and content is only surpassed by her compassion for homeless pets. Without question, Rachel will always bring her dedication and talent to the table. I highly recommend Mill + Co.!”

"Mill + Co. helped TheirStory to get off the ground. We had an out-of-date website that no longer represented the maturity of the business. Rachel, with just the right amount of assertiveness and empathy, listened to our history and vision, and quickly and professionally helped us craft copy that we have reused across our website and marketing materials. Our customers and potential customers have resonated with our website, which I believe has helped increase the number of inbound leads and drive customer growth. I highly recommend working with Mill + Co. on any marketing endeavor. They are professional, strategic, fantastic listeners, while executing beautifully and efficiently."

"Working with Rachel and the team at Mill + Co. has been an absolute pleasure. As someone who joined our company's project in it's latter stages, Mill + Co. brought me up to speed and has been a breeze to work with every step of the way. Our new website is coming together beautifully and we're very grateful to have worked with Mill + Co."

"Mill + Co. has been amazing; their professionalism from day one has been refreshing. Their knowledge and expertise helped us break out of a marketing rut and start a new campaign that we never would've up with on our own. Rachel's team brings important data to life and helped us understand who we are targeting, why we are targeting them, and how we can get in front of these consumers in a meaningful way. I highly recommend them to anyone."

"We loved working with the Mill + Co. team. Rachel really took the time to understand who we were as a company and where we wanted to go. Throughout the process she was thoughtful and perceptive. The solutions and recommendations that Mill + Co. came up with felt like natural extensions of where we wanted to go, but couldn't have gotten there without them! In each interaction they were patient, encouraging, engaged and insightful. We are grateful to them for the roadmap they crafted for us."

"The Mill + Co. team is talented, driven, and insightful. It was a joy working with them to produce start-up branding for our company. We love the logo and materials they produced for us and get compliments on them all the time. We will definitely work with them again in the future!"

"After a few months into launch, I felt we could use a push. Not just in sales, but in following as well. And after my first call with Rachel, I knew I’d found a solution. Mill + Co. has proved to be a vital asset to my business in more ways than one. They immediately understood my business and our mission, and went above and beyond to deliver a strategy that delivered results. In one month, we doubled our sales and drastically increased our following."

Along the way she witnessed what makes brands soar and where they have to settle in both advertising and media publishing, then she set out on her own to build a better way. Mill + Co.
