About Us.
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, not get in the way of it.
With a background in biology, public health, and web development, Marcus brings a quiet, thoughtful approach to every project. He’s worked with researchers, labs, and public-facing teams to build digital spaces that are easy to use, aligned with the strategy, and built to reflect what matters most.
He leads development at MC Digital Strategy with a focus on structure, usability, and long-term clarity—so that what’s built holds up, supports the message, and helps people connect.
The Story Behind MC
MC Digital Strategy started with a simple question:
What if your digital presence felt as thoughtful as the work behind it?
We saw purpose-driven organizations doing powerful work but struggling to communicate it. Their websites felt scattered. Their messaging didn’t land. And the people who needed to understand their impact weren’t connecting with it.
So we started a communications practice built around that belief. MC Digital Strategy is a digital PR agency for teams who want their online presence to reflect the depth of what they do. We bring together web design, brand messaging, and digital strategy to help people communicate clearly and grow with intention.
We believe PR is about relationships. The strongest messages don’t just reach people—they build trust, invite clarity, and create connection.
That’s why we design digital experiences that feel aligned, not performative, and help your presence reflect your purpose.
We don’t do generic. We don’t chase trends. We build with care so what you put online feels like you.
Mission
We help purpose-driven teams make strategic, people-centered choices so how they show up online reflects who they are and who they’re here for.
Vision
A digital world where story, strategy, and intention come together to move meaningful work forward.
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 the care behind it.
With a Ph.D. in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Oregon and over a decade of experience, Nii helps mission-driven teams get clear on their voice, their audience, and how they show up online.
Their approach is research-backed, calm, and focused on what matters so people can stop second-guessing and grow with intention.
They’ve led strategy for research labs, universities, and brands that want to connect.
