M Studios Marketing Strategy Consulting is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Mastermind Media Works. The expansion not only enhances M Studios’ capabilities but also reaffirms its commitment to supporting client growth objectives by providing tailored marketing solutions.
Additionally, it’s a partnership that signifies a commitment to fostering long-term relationships with clients and for clients, according to Maren Larson, M Studios’ CEO, Founder, and Fractional CMO.
“We always want to feel like an extension of our client’s internal teams,” Maren emphasized, highlighting the importance of a supportive and collaborative culture.
“We’re focused on building longevity and brand recognition for our clients, making sure that people understand who they are, what they do, the problems they solve, and the value they add to their industries.”
Mastermind Media Works is a thriving digital marketing agency helping brands tell their stories in the digital space. Founder Ariana Shives now joins the M Studios team as a top marketing strategist.
“The union with Ariana enhances our goals of building long-term relationships with the companies we serve.”
With a background that blends technology, innovation, and social entrepreneurship, Ariana brings a wealth of experience that aligns seamlessly with M Studios’ mission.
“I’m extremely excited to collaborate with a team I trust,” said Ariana. “I know M Studios will handle the Mastermind Media clients with the same level of care and dedication that I bring to every project.”
Ariana’s reputation for high integrity and excellence in execution resonates deeply with M Studios’ culture.
“In every interaction I’ve had with Ariana, she has just been so delightful, and I know that she shows up in the same way when it comes to serving Mastermind Media clients,” Maren said. “We really want to prioritize building a team of people that you get excited to work with and can trust with your business. Ariana fits that perfectly.”
The Strength and Value of the M Studios Model
M Studios offers clients a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) model supported by an outsourced, cross-functional marketing department. Maren points out that the integrated model provides high-level strategic guidance with hands-on execution.
“Many clients find that while having a high-level marketing leader is vital, they also need a dedicated team to bring those strategies to life. M Studios enables clients, particularly medium to large businesses, to access seasoned marketing expertise without the financial burden of a full-time C-suite executive or a full internal marketing department,” she explained.
“This approach is especially beneficial for businesses that require a flexible, high-level strategy to scale effectively.”
M Studios draws upon its diverse and ever-growing pool of cross-functional marketing talent to support businesses in brand building, marketing, lead generation, process improvement, and business development strategy, tailoring deliverables to each client’s specific goals.
“Because we work across diverse sectors, we have extensive exposure and experience executing a variety of marketing strategies,” Maren noted. “We can offer unique recommendations tailored to each client’s needs.”
As M Studios continues to grow, the infusion of Mastermind Media Works and Ariana Shives’ expertise promises to significantly strengthen the company’s position as a business growth, marketing, and brand strategy leader.
“We’re incredibly excited to begin this new chapter,” Maren said. “As we move forward, Ariana will undoubtedly enrich the already dynamic offerings of M Studios Marketing Consulting.”
