ABOUT MMC:

Hello! We’re MMC — The Original Earned-First Creative Agency. We don’t look like your normal agency — because we’re anything but.

For 40 years, we’ve shattered sales records and glass ceilings. Launched breakthroughs. Broken barriers. We've taken flight since our founding in 1983 as the first agency focused on marketing to women, and we continue rewriting the rules of communications for all audiences by being Artfully Disruptive.

Our practice areas — Consumer, Healthcare, & Corporate — are centered around a world-class creative offering. Much like our RXM subsidiary, a creatively-driven, science-first communications agency, accelerates the breakthrough of healthcare innovations by propelling visionaries from the unknown into the mainstream.

We upend the status quo – be it a mindset or a market – with ideas that make our clients the center of conversation, and make the world wonder “how did no one ever think of that before?” That's why our client roster includes some of the world’s biggest names, plus a cornucopia of determined challengers ready to take on the world.
