Maggie Malek is the CEO of MMI Agency, where her passion for authentic connections drives the agency to remarkable integration with clients. Alongside her talented team, she helps guide clients toward positive transformation through the development of innovative digital strategies, direct-to-consumer and e-commerce programs, and breakthrough influencer marketing and public relations campaigns. She spearheads high-profile projects for Fortune 500 clients, including Amazon, Microsoft, Shell Oil Company, and P&G, and she works directly with platforms like Facebook and Google on new-to-market product offerings. In Maggie’s first year as CEO of MMI, she reenergized the agency during both a global pandemic and a major recession, with her vision allowing MMI to not just grow but thrive during unprecedented circumstances. Under her leadership, MMI was recognized as the fastest growing middle-market company (across all industries) in Houston in 2020 by Houston Business Journal. The following year, the same publication recognized Maggie as a 40 Under 40 Honoree. In 2022, she oversaw a merger to bring Media Kitchen, a leading media innovation company, under the MMI banner, welcoming fresh talent into her existing team. Maggie is truly the heartbeat of the organization, and her caring approach to team leadership, and fearless drive to deliver measurable impact and value for her clients, are core to MMI’s continued success.
