Love From Our Clients
Milk & Honey Agency has been an incredible partner from the very beginning of the Holistic Passings Foundation. Chad and Alexis understood my mission to bring holistic, compassionate care to hospice patients and turned that vision into a powerful brand. They created beautiful social media, produced inspiring videos, secured billboards, podcasts, and TV features, and gave our foundation citywide visibility. Their passion and belief in our work was transformative, and I’m forever grateful for the role they played in bringing this movement to life.
Dr. Timothy Beckett
CEO/Founder, Holistic Passings Foundation
I reached out to Alexis for help with my non-profit, and they exceeded my expectations. Alexis and her team specialize in strategic planning, marketing, branding, and fundraising, providing valuable tools and training.
Chad, their team member, built a remarkable website and created our logo, bringing my vision to life. He was quick, understanding, and so easy to work with.
Alexis has been an invaluable advisor, offering expert guidance and support throughout our journey. Her dedication and willingness to help have been instrumental in our progress.
Abigail Robinson
Founder, Promiseland Foundation
Working with Milk & Honey has been such a huge win for us. Chad and Alexis didn’t just give us a new look with our website and marketing — they set us up with systems that actually work and help us bring in more support.
They make our small team feel like we’ve got a whole marketing department behind us, without the crazy costs of hiring a big staff. We’ve saved thousands and finally feel like we’re moving forward with confidence.
These two really care, and it shows in everything they do.
