Digital Marketing Agency in Royal Oak, MI

About Us

We started in the fall of 2019 with the goal of helping local businesses get more out of their marketing.

doing work that gets noticed everywhere

Today, we are still a tight team, but we handle everything. We do not have decades of experience like the big agencies do. Instead, we have something to prove. Being right here in Metro Detroit, we keep an ear to the ground to find new ways to connect with people and help our clients succeed.

We do this because watching a business in our community grow is the best part of the job. No matter who you are up against, we find a way to make sure people see you.

what we solve

A lot of brands that come to us are fantastic at what they do, but they appear just ordinary online. So, we fix that. That could be web design, a new logo, a better social media presence, you name it.
There’s nothing more gratifying to us than helping businesses grow, especially those within our community in Metro Detroit. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a local business. And well, we’re in the neighborhood. Let’s work.

Meet the team

The people that make the magic happen

We weren’t lying when we said we’re a small team. Nevertheless, we’re smart, we’re capable, and we always find a way to solve any problem thrown at us.

AJ Doppke

Managing Partner & Brand Strategist

As the Brand Strategist and Managing Partner, I lead strategy development for our clients and business development for our own operations. What drives me is helping local businesses succeed and seeing my people grow into their potential.

While I don’t have a ton of hobbies, I enjoy cooking and have tried a thing or two. If you want to talk about how to make the perfect risotto or what a bear attack in the Rocky Mountains is like, let’s connect! 

Nathalie Medero

Lead Web Developer & SEO

I build websites for businesses with SEO in mind and a strong design direction. I have grown to become a team lead at MQ, and I work closely with web developers and SEO professionals to deliver the best results and help you perform your best online.

I like knowing about a project beforehand, because when I was young, I entered a race and ended up running backward because nobody told me where to run.

Aryn Hillman

Design & Creative Lead

When I describe my job to people, I normally describe myself as MQ’s “Big Idea Guy.” I handle much of our clients’ creative direction, as well as graphic design, branding, and video directing.

Mari Gonzalez

Paid Ad Specialist

I help our clients grow by turning clicks into leads. Specializing in Google Search and YouTube Ads, I focus on relentless optimization to ensure every dollar of your ad spend works smarter, not harder.
 
When I’m not analyzing data and scaling campaigns, you can find me traveling the world with my husband and kids, unwinding at home with a crochet hook in hand, or hanging out with my pet cockatiel, Sugar.

Makayela Shepperd

Account Manager

I act as the middleman between MQ and our clients, managing communication and keeping our team aligned to deliver great results.

Outside of work, I’m a volunteer with a local nonprofit and coach young athletes in multiple sports. I love traveling, working out, and being with friends/family. I’m a huge Detroit Lions fan and you will always find me with an iced latte or energy drink.

Matteo Zakolski

Copywriter

I write for our clients using the finest quill and ink. While the 1st photo shows me having a laugh, I’m much more like the 2nd photo. I take my craft extremely seriously.

Natalie Engel

Digital Marketing Specialist

I help with SEO optimization, build and update websites, and create social media posts to expand clients’ visibility and reach the right people.

I love to travel, create art (watercolors, weaving, embroidery, calligraphy, printmaking, and more), play guitar & piano, and spend time in Detroit.

Jacob Feiock

Photographer & Videographer

As a hybrid shooter, I create engaging content tailored to your audience. I specialize in cinematography, video production, and editing, with a focus on creating polished, cinematic content. I strive to make every frame a painting.

Some of my favorite films are Star Wars: Ep. III, Rear Window, Nosferatu, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Batman, and Casablanca.

Valeria Serrano

CMS Website Developer

I’m a web developer specializing in both front and back-end. I make sure that your website works as it should so that users have an enjoyable experience when they visit it.
