Our Approach

A proven process rooted in understanding, collaboration, and action.

Step 1: Listen

We conduct deep-dive discovery sessions with institutional leaders, stakeholders, and constituents to uncover what truly sets your institution apart. Open and thoughtful inquiry helps us fully understand your challenges, aspirations, and the distinct context in which you operate.

Step 2: Reflect

Rather than imposing solutions, we reflect back the vision and story we come to understand, testing insights against the wisdom of those who know your institution best. This collaborative process ensures that our recommendations align with your values and ultimately resonate with your community.

Step 3: Strategize

Guided by what we’ve learned and informed by our experience in higher education and nonprofit leadership, we craft action-oriented strategies tailored to your institution’s goals. We aim not only to help you solve immediate challenges but also to empower long-term success.

Step 4: Implement

We don’t stop at strategy—we see it through. Working closely with our clients, we help translate strategic plans into impactful outreach of every kind, across every medium. From concept to execution, we remain by your side to create effective and meaningful solutions.

What was most impressive about Mackey Strategies' work with us was their commitment to the foundational work of understanding who we are and what we represent. As a result, the materials that emerged—a new tagline, logo, and other elements of our institutional identity—are a completely authentic reflection of our values and aspirations. Pete and his colleagues were true collaborators, always enthusiastic and at times indefatigable, working with equal parts care and tenacity to elicit from us a renewed vision for ourselves and then to help us share that vision with the world. We couldn’t have hoped for more.”
