A latte in hand, a moodboard on screen, and a hundred tabs open—from keyword audits to target audience deep-dives. She spots what’s not working from a mile away—and already knows how to fix it.

x THRIVING MEANS...
A calendar full of connections, a pulse on what’s trending, and a voice memo already sent to Allie with a new idea. With deep roots in Louisville and a matcha in hand (she’s a bit of a connoisseur), Al knows the right people, the right places, and the right time to make something happen.
The heart of Made, Al keeps our client relationships warm, honest, and wildly productive. She’s part account manager, part PR powerhouse—and somehow makes it all look effortless. Whether she’s planning content shoots, overseeing communication, or making sure every client feels seen and heard, Al brings clarity, ideas, empathy, and creative instinct to everything she touches.
(And yes, two of our founders are named Allison!)

He’s on a call with a potential client, hearing their vision, asking thoughtful questions, and already imagining how Made can bring it to life—with a genuine, “we’ve got you” kind of energy.
The first voice you’ll hear when you reach out to Made—and the reason you’ll instantly feel like you’re in the right place. Mike leads sales and client relationships with the kind of warmth, clarity, and big-picture thinking that turns a first call into a trusted partnership.
As a small business owner himself (he and Al also run Made Market), Mike gets how personal marketing decisions can feel—and how frustrating it is when you invest in strategy that doesn’t deliver. That’s why he listens first, asks the right questions, and never pushes cookie-cutter solutions.
