Strategies that reflect the depth of your work

How it Began

MC Digital Strategy began with a question:
What if your online presence felt as intentional as your mission?

Too often, we saw organizations doing important work but losing their impact online. Unclear messaging, inconsistent communication on social media, and outdated websites were getting in the way of real connection.

So we built a practice to change that.

MC Digital Strategy is a communications firm for organizations that lead with purpose.

We combine audience research, message strategy, and communication planning to help you connect with purpose and build long-term trust.

We don’t do generic. We don’t chase trends.

We focus on alignment so your digital spaces feel clear, grounded, and built to last.

Marcus Mahliaire
Co-Founder & Lead Developer
​
Marcus co-founded MC Digital Strategy to make the technical side of digital strategy feel more intentional—and less like an afterthought. He believes websites should support the clarity and care behind the work. 
​
With a background in biology, public health, and web development, Marcus brings a thoughtful approach to every project. He’s worked with researchers, labs, and non-profit teams to build digital spaces that are easy to use, aligned with the strategy, and built to reflect what matters most.
​
He leads with a focus on structure, usability, and long-term clarity—so that what’s built holds up, supports the message, and helps people connect.

Nii Mahliaire, Ph.D.
Co-Founder & Communications Strategist
​​
Nii co-founded MC Digital Strategy after seeing too many smart, values-driven teams struggle to communicate what they do—and who it’s for. The work was strong. The impact was real. But the digital presence didn’t reflect it.
​
With a Ph.D. in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Oregon and over a decade of PR experience, Nii helps teams get clear on their voice, their audience, and how they show up online. They’ve led strategy for research labs, universities, and brands that want to connect.
 
Their approach is research-backed, calm, and focused on what matters so people can stop second-guessing and grow with intention.​
