Suffice it to say the partnership is a success! Today, after 10 years, Bona's retail sales continue to grow along with brand awareness increases year over year.

"Big Green Egg has a long history of working with MBI as two organically grown Atlanta based companies.

When Big Green Egg was ready to step up to national broadcast to support their 4,000+ national dealer network, they came to MBI for a creative approach to deliver on their ambitious media objectives.

MBI responded with a tightly focused plan that delivered national coverage focused on Big Green Egg's prime selling seasons and key audience demos. The plan met and exceeded expectations on all fronts. Audience delivery, network selection, daypart mix and efficiencies hit targets that would be expected from a budget with a lot more digits.

In a word, the results for Big Green Egg were "smokin'!"

— B. Atkinson, Marketing Services Manager at Big Green Egg

As an owner, I do not have direct day-to-day contact with MBI's media team. However, our media strategist has done a good job of staying in touch and making sure she communicates with me on a regular basis. I appreciate that and believe it keeps the line of communication open and allows for ongoing improvements in the relationship."

— P. Zinn, Principal of Jennings & Company

However, if you want the highest level of professional guidance, negotiation power, and institutional experience on your side, then hire MBI - and do it today. Their team of experienced professionals has helped our company move from a literal garage to one of the most recognized brands in our industry. I'm an attorney with an undergraduate degree in advertising, and I can assure you that there is no way in hell I could create, manage and contract for an outreach program with the sophistication and cost-effectiveness of the one MBI runs for me."

— M. Bertelsen, President of Cowboy Cauldron Company

"As the Daily's brand grew in distribution, it became clear we needed to transition from our regional ad buy to a national ad buy to reach our target in an impactful way. With MBI's recommendation, Daily's was able to generate nearly 7 times the number of impressions that would have been achieved with our previous years regional buy for the same budget!

MBI negotiated drastically lower rates than the open rate and provided valuable data and research about why national print made sense for our target and our brand, in order to help make a solid case of the program to senior management. We benefited from MBI's know how regarding what magazines would be the most relevant to our target, and their detailed recommendations to fulfill our campaign goals.

Our campaign was successful and about 20,000 consumers entered in the contest we were advertising. We were so pleased with the results that we decided to use MBI again to run a similar program!"

— V. Delannoy, Brand Manager at Daily's Cocktails

The MBI team also guided us in which mediums and vehicles would support and drive our varying marketing initiatives.
