Brian Town doesn’t just have a vision for his new marketing company,
Michigan Creative; he has a vision for Michigan.
“Our credo is to really grow and be a company that helps a lot of businesses in Michigan, and helps Michigan grow,” says Town. “We understand the value of small businesses to our economy, and I think Michigan is a great place to be.”
The new business, which is located in East Lansing’s
Technology Innovation Center, is operated by Town and his partner Erik Wolenberg. They offer a range of creative services to their clients, with a focus on growing local businesses.
“We have a vision of a warehouse setting where we have 50 employees in an open work environment,” says Town. “We’d like to become a company that was founded on marketing small businesses and grows into something that really helps small businesses launch.”
For now the two-man team is looking to start by adding a few MSU interns and hope to hire their first fulltime sales employee by this summer. Michigan Creative has been located at the TIC since September, but recently moved into a larger, 300-square foot office.
