Moxie16 was born in 2023 to provide a customized and personal touch to elevating client brands and perception.
Makayla and Kristi met during their days at the ABC Affiliate KETV when Kristi was a news anchor and Makayla was a marketing executive. Once they realized that they shared a similar passion as strong women who were driven by providing platinum results, committed to excellence, and changing the culture of PR, they knew at some point they would be connected in more ways than one! It was in 2016 they decided that eventually they would turn their individual successes into a collective win through combining their skill sets with a whole lot of Moxie.
