Why did you choose to “Go Mixte?”: Tbh, Mixte chose me, and I said “yes.” Little did I know that I would end up saying “yes, and…” quite a lot because here at Mixte, we believe in going above and beyond for our clients. This is just one of the helpful mindsets that the “MixTeam” holds and believes in. Another includes working from an “above-the-line” perspective which simply supports self-accountability, responsibility and ownership of work, and encourages creative problem-solving.

Mixte isn’t just a communications firm, it is an incubator for creative types, a network for support, leadership and mentorship, and a team of diverse individuals with an unwavering passion to empower and uplift “nice people who want nice things for our communities.”
