My name is Maggie McDonald (magsmac for short) and I’m the new girl on the Marion Montgomery team. Well new-ish… Yesterday was actually my two week anniversary but I’ve been busy working on the amazing Mom 2.0 Summit since I walked through the door and hadn’t had a chance to say hi until now!
It’s got to be said though, as busy as I have been, I could not have asked for a more perfect first project! Last year I was actually a volunteer for Mom2 so this wasn’t my first rodeo and if you know me, you know I love the Mom2 crew. If you don’t know me, I thought I would take a second to tell you about myself.
Once upon a time I graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Public Relations. I was a bartender in college (and LOVED it) and I decided I couldn’t do an “office job” so I went into wedding planning for a very prestigious country club. One day I realized that as much as I loved event planning, my brain needed more stimulation than long conversations centered around the difference between taupe and off-white table linens. And I missed writing!! Back to PR it was for me. My first job in marketing was at the awesome Schipul where I learned everything I know about Social Media and now here I am at my new home in Rice Village, MMI.
Other little known Maggie facts that may interest you: I love Mac ‘n’ Cheese, I used to play the tuba, I hate odd numbers, I have two cats, I drive a big red truck and I LOVE Guitar Hero. But I digress…
While I have enjoyed working on Mom2 the last few weeks (especially the part where I had to change a tire in an evening gown) I am looking forward to working with the rest of MMI’s amazing clients. Next up for me is the Shell Houston Open.
Oh… and here is my favorite photo from Mom2. You gotta love photo-booths with a green screen!
Wish me luck!
Love always,
Maggie
Congrats on the new job Maggie! Best of luck!
Big ups, Mags. You rawk and MMI will soon realize they struck gold!
Congrats,
Mark

Well, Maggie found a home! This is great news. I’m proud of you, sister. Don’t forget this little fella over in the dirty south, now that you’re big time and all. Ha! I’m real happy for you Maggie. I know you’ll bring energy and cheer to whatever you do. Your clients are lucky folks. I’ll be watching from over here on the creative fringe. -Oran (the Parker Brand)
