Margie MacLachlan | CEO

Known around these parts as Queen of the Clan, Margie is the driving force behind the program planning and strategic content development we perform for our clients. Imposing her will and wisdom, she pushes us to challenge conventional thinking, to make our customers’ marketing programs more compelling, and to craft content that is worthy of their brands and relevant to their audiences.

With more than 20 years of marketing communications experience, Margie has an uncommon ability to craft strategies that differentiate brands and products in the marketplace. She’s proven it for Tartan clients such as Cargill, Tennant, Ecolab and HID Global. A writer by trade, Margie has worked in-house at Honeywell, owned and served as managing editor for Tech Minnesota, and managed content development for companies such as H.B. Fuller, Travelers Express, General Mills and IDS Financial.

Her passion for the culinary arts, training at the Culinary Institute of America and broad knowledge of the food and foodservice industries have also made Margie a go-to resource for clients including Land O’Lakes, Baker Boy, Horizon Milling and Sunny Fresh Foods.
