It all started with some moxie.
Founder and CEO Meg Biallas kicked off her marketing and communications career ten days after college graduation with two suitcases and a one-way ticket to Washington, D.C.
Shortly thereafter, a new colleague remarked on her arrival, stating "well, you've got some moxie, don't you?"
Throughout her career, Meg has embraced the label. From organizing press events on Capitol Hill and producing podcasts to designing public awareness campaigns and mobilizing advocates, Meg has gone after her work with energy, determination and, above all, a commitment to excellence.
"Moxie" embodies both the momentum and expertise that will take your brand to the next level.
It turns out that labels can be a good thing.
