To understand Maris, West & Baker, you first have to understand where we started over 30 years ago.

Jackson, Mississippi, is a mid-sized city in the deep South where the images of politeness and hospitality still apply, but the stereotypes of catfish jumpin’ and lazy livin’ don’t. For one thing, catfish don’t jump. And people here work very hard. Especially at Maris, West & Baker.

We work smart, too. Because our goal is simply this: to help businesses outsmart, rather than outspend, their competition.

Doing this takes great ideas. That’s why we’ve built MWB to be a place where bright, talented people are allowed to do what they do best. Without the micromanagement and politics typical of larger, more corporate agencies.

It's an environment that leads to great ideas. Our work has been judged to be among the best in the nation in prestigious competitions like the One Show and the Effie Awards. And our innovative PR tactics have helped clients get their stories covered by The Today Show, National Public Radio, Newsweek and USA Today, just to name a few.

If you're looking for an agency, you should talk to us. Our location may be a little off the beaten path. But isn't that where you find the best ideas?
