My story

In 2017 I moved from Iowa to Alabama and took a job as a marketing coordinator for a real estate team. That’s where I fell for graphic design and digital strategy, learning everything on the job.

After the pandemic, my husband and I moved back home to Iowa. In 2020 I started Myliu Marketing as a leap of faith. I had no formal marketing or business training, just a lot of heart and a love for small businesses.

Since then we’ve worked with 42+ brands and clients across 16+ industries, in Iowa, Texas, North Carolina and Arizona. We’re still small on purpose, because quality over quantity is how we show real care for every client.

The story behind the name

Aš tave myliu

Lithuanian for ‘I love you.’

Myliu honors my Lithuanian heritage on my dad’s side, and it’s a reminder of how much we care about every business we work with.
