Hello!

269marketing.com and TheLocalConsultant.com are both operated by Markus Moorlag, directing to the same website in an effort to build awareness and recognition of my services.

I’m an independent consultant that helps develop and/or manage the business and marketing needs for three clients in the Kalamazoo area. I’m currently a UPS delivery driver by day, working towards my goal of running a small business full-time that will provide services to local small business owners in my community who are working to build their legacy as well. I currently provide services to a local Mechanic, Insurance Agency, and Restaurant. I do not charge a fee to have a phone call or meeting in person, but I do ask that we respect and value each others time with planned meetings. I am very flexible and able to meet in the morning, afternoon, evening, or on weekends. I can meet on jobsites and do keep PPE in my vehicle at all times.

Every Advertising and Marketing strategy IS different for every business, every industry, and every targeted service geography. Improving your revenue and recognition will take a collaborative effort, but I will be there to support and develop the growth you’re seeking.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the opportunity to work for and learn from Fortune 500 corporations, private equity firms, and small businesses with just a handful of employees. Each experience shaped me — teaching me how organizations operate, how people lead or fall behind, and what truly drives success at every level.

The greatest lesson I learned was personal; no paycheck or title in Corporate America could replace the fulfillment that comes from building something meaningful of my own while working with others doing the same. I’ve seen small business owners rise, stumble, and rise again — and I admire them all for their courage to chase purpose over the dull celebratory pizza parties big corp. is known for.

I’m not chasing riches, I’m chasing freedom.

I’m not a salesperson. I’m an advocate for your small business and those in our community working for more than a 401k payout later in life.

Currently working by referral only, but love hearing other’s stories and making connections in the community! Please reach out anytime!
