About McKinney Creative Ventures
Our Story
McKinney Creative Ventures was founded by local entrepreneurs Sam and Ashley McKinney with one clear purpose: to help local small businesses grow with confidence and consistency. We believe every great business deserves the same powerful marketing tools and strategies that larger companies use, tailored for the scale, pace, and heart of our community.
We're on a mission to:
Empower Local Businesses
Give small business owners the tools, strategy, and support they need to grow with confidence and clarity.
Build Lasting Partnerships
Form genuine, long-term relationships that prioritize trust, consistency, and measurable success over one-time projects.
Strengthen Our Community
Invest in the success of local entrepreneurs to help build a stronger, more connected East Metro and St. Croix Valley.
Sam & Ashley McKinney
Founders of McKinney Creative Ventures
We’re a family-owned agency rooted right here in the East Metro and St. Croix Valley. We live here, work here, and raise our kids here. This isn’t just where we do business. It’s home. When we partner with a client, we’re investing in our neighbors, our local economy, and the community that supports us all.
Collectively we bring more than 25 years of experience in international business development, marketing strategy, consulting, customer service, sales, technology and automation systems. After years in the corporate world, we decided to leave and launch McKinney Creative Ventures to give small business owners access to the kind of strategic support that makes a real, lasting difference, without the big agency complexity or cost.
At our core, we believe in relationships, reliability, and results. We’re here to build marketing systems that work, partnerships that last, and a stronger local business community for everyone.
