MAH-BOO
We are MABU
Originally the childhood nickname of our founder, Mike Mabin, MABU is short for Marketing & Advertising Business Unlimited, Inc.
Mike started the company in 2001 following a 20-year career in healthcare administration, marketing, and fundraising. He saw a need to serve the underserved – namely non-profit organizations, public service providers, and Native American entities. An enrolled member and citizen of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana, Mike was committed to advancing the development efforts of tribal communities and Native-owned companies.
His son, Alex, joined MABU in 2012, opening a branch in Washington D.C. after spending time there as a government and private sector consultant. He returned home to North Dakota in 2020 and has since played a key role in MABU's evolution from a client-focused niche to a purpose-driven model that supports clients across all sectors.
Today, MABU fosters authentic connections between organizations and their audiences through strategic problem-solving, compelling storytelling, and creative ingenuity.
