With agency growing its team and adding high-profile clients and national honors, founder Michelle Mekky says 'more to come'
CHICAGO, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mekky Media Relations Inc. is marking six years in business this June with news that it has doubled revenue since last year, grown its team to nearly 20 staffers and added to a long list of clients and national honors. This successful trajectory is a continuation of the agency's rapid growth since media/PR veteran Michelle Mekky launched the business with one client in 2016.
Mekky Media's expansion the past year comes on top of last year's record-breaking revenue and reaching the milestone of becoming a seven-figure business.
"I'm grateful we continued our growth trajectory, especially given that the business climate continues to be challenging," Mekky says. "Increasingly, we are finding that our creative work and powerful results are in demand. My talented team is the best in the business. I think this is only the beginning for us."

To meet demand, the agency has added integrated digital/PR programs, personal branding and internal communications, and has increased media training capabilities.

Team Expansion
Mekky Media's growth included the hiring of the agency's first media manager, Ellie Heckman, a broadcast veteran who worked as Fox Business Network producer for more than 14 years.
"Ellie has insider's knowledge of the business, plus financial background, media connections and storytelling skills," Mekky says. "She's helping expand our media training segment of the business and our abilities to successfully land coverage in national outlets."
"I'm honored to join the agency and bring my media background to help achieve powerful results for clients," Heckman says.
