About Me


Hi, I’m Marcy Grier. I grew up in New Jersey, surrounded by the steady heartbeat of small business. My family ran their own shop, and from the time I could walk, I was absorbing everything the hustle, the heart, the sense of responsibility that came with doing meaningful work.

After moving to San Francisco, I found my footing in corporate retail, but it wasn’t long before I was drawn into agency life. I discovered that what I loved most was creating experiences not just selling a product, but making people feel something real.

In 2012, everything changed. I had just taken a month-long trip to Cambodia and Thailand to step away and reset. While I was away, a former client reached out and asked if I’d consider working with them directly. Three days before I flew back to the States, I said yes.

That’s how MKMCreative was born not from a grand plan, but from instinct, timing, and trust. I still remember my friend raising a glass and saying, “Of course you are.” That moment gave me the confidence to build an agency that was fully my own.

MKMCreative quickly grew into a boutique experiential marketing agency in San Francisco. From the start, our mission was simple create brand moments that actually mean something. Whether it was a pop-up experience, an influencer campaign, or a product launch, I wanted each project to feel alive. We worked with clients who expected excellence and energy, and we delivered both always under our personal motto: “Whatever it Takes.” I’m proud of the team we built and the trust we earned.

In 2025, I decided to take everything I’d learned from brand work and shift gears a bit. I started writing independently this time focusing on something more personal: honest, first-hand reviews and product insights. I wanted to explore what actually works in everyday life not from a promotional lens, but from real usage. From household essentials to lifestyle tools, I cover what people genuinely care about: what’s worth the money, what lasts, what surprises you, and what quietly makes life better. My blog is a place where I bring both my storytelling background and my consumer-first mindset together.
