Why Say More is Showing Up to Mackinac
(And Why It Matters)
We’re not going to the Mackinac Policy Conference just for the fudge and bike rides. We’re going because the conversations that happen there set the tone for our state and nation’s future.
This year’s Mackinac Policy Conference is all about “Michigan’s Equation for Impact.”
It’s a call to combine vision, tools, and action to build a state where people, business, and the environment can all move forward. Same equation, different tools: we’re solving for impact with storyboards instead of statutes.
We’re Showing Up to Tune In
Say More is a content studio. While our job isn’t to push policy, we pick up the signals, cut through the clutter, and amplify what matters.
We’re heading to Mackinac to get closer to those signals. To listen for what’s shifting. To figure out what the people leading this state are actually saying between panels and press releases. Because what we hear influences how we help our clients show up – smarter, sharper, and more in tune with the moment.
We’re After the Stuff That Doesn’t Make the Agenda
Some of the most meaningful ideas at Mackinac never make it to a microphone.
They happen in passing. Whether that’s in a spontaneous conversation over coffee or during a morning walk with new and old friends. That’s where we like to hang out.
We’re not there to chase headlines or break news – we’re there to spot the threads worth pulling, from the overlooked insight to the things that could become something bigger if someone’s paying attention.
So, we are.
We’re Not There to Play Along
We’re here to show up curious, clear-eyed, and a little allergic to groupthink.
We want to have real conversations because we believe you can take your work seriously without making it boring. Our team helps organizations tell sharper stories, build bolder brands, and show up with more clarity and character across every channel.
And that starts by listening closely before saying anything at all.
If you’re going too…let’s talk.
We’re always down for a walk, a coffee, or a conversation that doesn’t involve five-point plans or five-dollar words.
