Who we are
Based in Jacksonville, Florida serving clients nationwide, Marketing Max was founded by former Atlanta dot-com marketing executive Michael P. Turner. Michael has over 15 years of both online and offline marketing management experience as well as sales, public relations, and graphic design expertise. He has also owned and operated several small businesses—both Web-based and bricks-n-mortar.
Having managed multi-million dollar campaigns through agencies and vendors for years, Michael decided he'd had enough of 50-page PowerPoint® presentations with big buzzwords that everyone defined differently, marathon meetings to get things done that should only take a few hours to do, and the lack of tracking and analytics being reported.
In 2006, Michael and his wife decided they needed to be closer to family. Michael left the dot-com after almost 10 years to start his own small business once again. But this time, he wanted to help other small businesses too.
And so, Marketing Max was born.
With his expertise in both marketing and small business, Michael started a different kind of marketing firm. Not an advertising agency. A small business marketing firm. The goal: to help small businesses grow through coaching, action, and accountability. No fluff. No buzzwords. Just good 'ol fashioned tough love and marketing.
