Who we are

Melissa Popiel Bahr

Melissa has spent over 20 years helping national and global Clients create, build and defend their brands. She’s proud to have partnered with P&G, Unilever, HersheyFoods, ConAgra, Benjamin Moore, Pennzoil-Quaker State, and others. She has a unique perspective, as someone who worked within Agency teams (Ogilvy & Mather, Saatchi & Saatchi, DDB, and SapientNitro), led an internal Marketing group (Benjamin Moor & Co.), and ultimately as an outside Consultant. 

​

In 2014, Melissa established MPBrand to take the rigorous processes used by large marketing machines to the exciting world of startups. She now enjoys working with Clients of all sizes bring their visions to life, and to market!

​

A flexible team of experts

Melissa knows there is no one-size-fits-all marketing solution that will help every business grow. When she starts off on a project, she does not have a predetermined path of where the Client will end up. So she has created a network of strategic alliances to help her tackle any project based on the specific business goals identified. Each of her partners has proven track record of success in their area, and has shown a great spirit of collaboration. Whenever additional resources are needed, Melissa will be transparent about who is doing the work, and is happy for clients to connect directly with everyone on the team.
