For nearly two decades, I've worked across publications, websites, events, branding, and marketing strategy. From economic development and education to agriculture, food, and research, my career has always centered around helping organizations communicate clearly and connect with the people they serve.
I founded Mikst Company to provide thoughtful marketing support that feels more like an extension of your team than another vendor. Today, we partner with brands doing good — for people, food, communities, and the planet.
This story starts with good brands.

HOW WE HELP
When you need a second set of eyes, a sounding board, or a strategy session.
Think of us as an extension of your team—not another vendor or agency.
For brands ready to move from ideas to action with dedicated monthly support.
Generic doesn't scale. People should know who you are.
The best brands don't blend in. They tell clear stories, build trust, and give people a reason to care.
Mikst Company was built for organizations that need thoughtful support across strategy, content, creative, websites, publications, events, and brand growth—without the overhead of a traditional agency.
Think of us as an extension of your team. A partner who helps turn ideas into work people remember.
Working with Shelley Baugh was nothing short of transformational. She didn’t just design a brand for me—she pulled the brand out of me. Shelley has a rare gift: she combines brilliant expertise with a deep ability to listen and guide you toward a brand that feels authentic inside and out.
She helped me completely rebrand my business—from my logo and website to clarifying my brand values. Shelley gave me the confidence to step fully into the CEO role and represent my business with pride at every touchpoint. She also guided me through strategic planning, crafted marketing strategies, and helped bring those ideas to life.
If you have the chance to work with Shelley, take it. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Hailey Frances, Strategic Media & Newsroom Leader
Shelley is incredible to work with. She's an amazing leader, strategist and coach. She has an eye for the big picture and long-term success of her team and the larger company. She let's data drive her decision making and is a positive team leader who plays to individuals strengths. I would recommend Shelley as an asset to any team!
Whitney Willis, Shamrock Foods Company
Shelley is an out-of-the-box thinker, a do-er, and an over-achiever. She's one of the best directors I've ever worked under—she expects excellence while also understanding that life happens, a rare quality in today's workplace.
Laura Handke, Ag Marketing and Business Communications Owner
Shelley is a unique blend of business smarts and creativity. She can easily develop a strategic plan and then design the marketing collateral for a campaign. I have never worked with anyone who has readily had top skills in both areas.
Ginny, Temple Performing Arts
I love working with Shelley. She takes your vision and turns it into a reality. I get so many compliments daily on all the work that she has helped me with for my business.
