Our studio is in this building.

This picture was taken in the late 1800's. What we know as the Odd Fellows Building originally housed the first "St. Charles Savings Bank", which is now known as First State Bank located on 5th St.

To the left of the Odd Fellows Building is the Court House, which was destroyed by a tornado in 1876. The Court House was rebuilt on 2nd Street and the Post Office was built in its place in 1909.

How things have changed!

I see more and more brands adapting their messaging to be relevant in our “new normal.” Empathizing has always been key, but now it is crucial. This is a great time to let your customers know you are real and that you care.

MLC is always working to help businesses humanize their brand. I know that small businesses are in survival mode, and in response, I have extended my reduced pricing though May for new clients.

Bonus: I am also real, and I also care! I would love to chat and learn more about your business.
