Our Story
McCord & Cargile Marketing Resources was created after seeing too many talented leaders struggle with visibility.
We met passionate business owners and nonprofit teams doing incredible work. What they lacked was not dedication. It was structured marketing strategy and guidance.
So we built a company focused on practical marketing education, collaborative strategy, and real-world implementation.
No jargon.
No one-size-fits-all plans.
Just clear steps that align with your mission and resources.

The Impact We Aim to Create
We measure success by more than metrics.
We look for:
Organizations that confidently explain what they do
Leaders making strategic, informed decisions
Teams communicating consistently
Missions gaining the recognition they deserve
Clear marketing leads to sustainable growth.

It all starts with a vision.
The next step for a business is to share that vision
with potential customers.
While I bring a significant amount of educational background and experience in the areas of business and marketing to M&CMR, I believe my most valuable strengths are creativity and imagination.
I have a passion for helping businesspeople and entrepreneurs move forward – and upward – in their success.
Marketing is about getting your message out. I am committed to getting your message in – into the hearts and minds of the customers you have not yet found.

What do you want to do?
What do you need to do?
This is where all of my projects start.
With vision and reality.
A problem solver, my niche has always been seeing where
these two meet and utilizing existing resources to achieve the
optimal solution.
I put these skills to work for M&CMR clients. They're usually
pretty pleased with the results.
