These six categories represent where MPP has the deepest client history, not the limits of who MPP works with. Client relationships in broadband, commerce, banking, and tech have grown out of the same fit-first approach found everywhere else, a budget that matches real expectations and trust in the plan, rather than a checklist of industries.

How MPP manages media across the country

Client relationships from across the US work because the process behind them is fully documented and doesn't depend on proximity. MPP is headquartered in Grand Rapids, but supports client locations across active states with in-market visits. Those visits and clear communication keep relationships and market knowledge current in places where audiences actually live.

Orbit is that process. It connects strategy and reporting into a continuous loop: results inform strategy, and strategy then shapes planning and buying decisions across every channel. Every decision inside Orbit is evaluated against the five diagnostic questions that make up MPP's Hi-5 framework: whether the right audiences are being reached, whether media and creative are aligned, whether the program has sufficient reach, whether budget allocation reflects actual goals, and whether reporting captures the right signals. Those questions apply in Columbus the same way they apply in Grand Rapids.

HelloMPP, MPP's client analytics portal, updates twice daily. Digital channels get full performance data, including spend, pacing, and results. Traditional channels appear in HelloMPP's in-market timeline, showing what's running, where, and when, rather than full performance metrics.

Frequently asked questions

Does MPP have offices outside of Michigan?
MPP operates from a single office in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Client relationships in other states are managed through Orbit, MPP's documented planning and buying system, and through HelloMPP, which gives clients 24/7 access to campaign performance data. HelloMPP updates twice daily.
What kinds of organizations does MPP work with outside of Michigan?
MPP works with any kind of organization, that's the strength of Orbit. Outside Michigan, MPP's client relationships include Trinity Health, a major national nonprofit health system with facilities across Ohio, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, and Maryland, a nationwide insurance agent co-op program, a fiber broadband provider in Florida and Georgia, and a Chicago-area home services company.
Can MPP plan and buy local media in states where it doesn't have an office?
Yes. Local broadcast television, print, radio, out-of-home, and digital media buying is core to what MPP does, not a specialty service. MPP plans and buys in specific local markets regardless of where the agency is based.
How does MPP handle communication with clients in other states?
Communication protocols are established during MPP's launch management process before campaigns go live. Every client relationship has documented communication paths so requests, updates, and reporting questions reach the right person without delay. MPP guarantees a one business day response time.
Does MPP work only in these 8 states?
No. MPP works with clients anywhere in the United States. The 8 states listed here reflect where MPP has existing active client relationships. Organizations outside these states are welcome to reach out, the same documented process applies regardless of location.
