ABOUT US

Mixed Co. is a marketing agency for independent designers that's best described as a hybrid mix of public relations and sales representation. In other words, our goal is to assist companies in getting product placement in press and inventory placement in retail shops. Like a PR agent, we establish marketing programs to help raise a company's profile and brand awareness. And like a sales rep, we take companies to trade shows for both marketing and sales opportunities. However, unlike a sales rep, we do not collect a commission on sales.

Indeed, Mixed Co. recognizes that most independent designers are often on a shoestring budget--so all our marketing programs have a low-cost, grassroots approach. In addition, we are highly selective about the designers we represent, taking into consideration both company products and individual personalities, as we often work cooperatively as a group.

Launched in 2008, Mixed Co. is a division of Mateo Ilasco, owned by Meg Mateo Ilasco. A writer and designer, she is also the author of Craft, Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business.
