It’s no secret that Makeway was built on the fly.
We’re not shy about the fact that our founders met on Craigslist and started a partnership called We Make Nice Websites that was based out of a Starbucks for six months. Thinking back, it’s amazing how far we’ve come in 10 years.
We’ve blossomed into an award-winning digital-first agency that works with iconic brands like Aramark, Nalgene, Purina, and Nationwide Insurance. We’re incredibly proud of where we are as a company.
But, like anyone who’s playing the “Infinite Game,” we’re also humbled and excited by the growth that lies ahead.
In that spirit, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve brought on a kick-ass team of advisors to shape the future of Makeway.
With diverse experiences and perspectives from a variety of business sectors, these board members will support Makeway through strategic analysis and consultation. They’ll be a sounding board. And they’ll hold us accountable for high-level objectives. They’ve accomplished so much in their careers and we are honored they’ll be supporting us in doing the same.
Without further ado, here are Makeway’s new advisory board members:
