A note from Katie & Annie: At the end of each year, we like to take time to reflect on our work and vision for Mayne Marketing moving forward. It's a great time to regain perspective and reorient our business plan to be sure we're moving towards a common goal. As we listed out our highlights from the year, we noticed most of them shared a common theme - We find purpose in our work when we have a chance to come alongside creatives and makers to support their vision and help their business grow. We wanted to carry this theme into the holiday season, so as we began to think through our 2019 Gift Guide, we chose to focus on intentional gifting for the creatives and makers in your life. Every item we've curated provides you with an opportunity to tangibly show your love and support, so you can play a small part in their success. ...Now let's get gifting!
