We illuminate a new sense of what’s possible.

Utilizing a series of fresh perspectives, striking examples, and unique methodologies, MMA guides company leaders, their teams, and boards to an expansive understanding of how Brand - employed as a core element of enterprise strategy operating at a higher level than the company’s prevailing view of its brand’s role - holds the potential to dramatically drive business results and significantly increase valuation.
We collaborate to precisely identify and elevate the most meaningful and motivating benefits a company’s products, services, and experiences can provide. Our approach harmonizes deep functional, emotional, and psychological customer wins to create a sharply focused lens through which to shape everything the enterprise does into a whole exponentially greater than the sum of its parts—meaningfully differentiated, more compelling and action-motivating than the competition.
MMA’s Brand strategy guidance extends well beyond conventional notions of integration. We identify and tap into the deepest drivers of customer choice and behavior to tilt competitive playing fields decisively in our clients’ favor.


We are experts at helping businesses and brands realize their full potential.

The advanced strategic application of Brand as a central element of board-level strategy results in individual brands turbocharged for maximum connection-making power and high-impact quantifiable results.
Each brand emerges as the architecture and orchestrator through which the “whole greater than the sum of its parts” is projected into the world through today's remarkable range of continuously evolving and emerging opportunities and possibilities.
We refer to this paradigm and the processes it encompasses as Brand with a capital B™.
MMA's proven expertise in how brands drive behavior and enrich lives extends well beyond the visible expressions of Brand. Our work impacts HR, recruitment, training, operations, human and digital customer service, and culture development just as much as it shapes product, service, and program innovation, 2D and 3D design, all forms of marketing and communications, and more.
At the core of the Brand with a capital B paradigm is MMA’s pioneering Brand Genome™ construct and methodology, which have consistently catalyzed notable success across a wide range of industries, market conditions, company life stages, and organizational structures.
MMA's results are not just impactful -- they are durable and transformative.

Michael Markowitz, Founder and President
Michael Markowitz is a seasoned strategist focused on creating action-driving differentiation for products, services, experiences, and organizations - particularly in industries and categories where customers are inundated with choice.
Since founding MMA, Michael's, deep insights into addressing core human needs through the seemingly prosaic entities called “brands” have inspired countless leaders, their teams, and investors.
Beginning his career as a music industry entrepreneur, Michael went on to become a dynamic leader in the global advertising industry. He led two Ogilvy agencies: Euramerica in New York and Ogilvy & Mather East Africa in Nairobi, Kenya.
As the advertising business shifted away from unique client-agency partnerships in favor of industrial buyer-vendor models, Michael founded MMA to advance his work in brand and enterprise differentiation and to nurture the rich professional relationships that have defined his career.
Michael brings to the table a unique blend of high-level strategic insight, fresh perspectives, and hands on experience in the day-to-day realities of businesses and organizations. He and MMA's team of seasoned subject matter experts focus on concrete, measurable outcomes, while fostering a lasting understanding of how an elevated view of Brand can consistently drive competitive advantage.
