About
Mission Made Modern exists to help organizations stay relevant, visible, and impactful in a fast-changing world. I believe every mission deserves to be seen and understood, and that modernization should strengthen, not erase, the history that makes you unique.
I’m Annie, the founder of Mission Made Modern. In my role leading communications and strategic initiatives for Virginia’s oldest and second largest bar association, I’ve developed campaigns that modernized operations, boosted engagement, and elevated visibility.
My approach blends a deep respect for tradition with a sharp eye for what works today, helping organizations like yours tell their story with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
My Approach
Every project begins with listening: understanding your mission, your challenges, and your audience. Then, I design a strategy that’s not just modern, but sustainable for your team to manage long-term.
With MMM, you get:
A collaborative partner who values relationships as much as results
Clear, jargon-free communication
An eye for detail and design that makes your organization shine
Why It Matters
In a noisy, digital-first world, visibility is everything. But for many associations, firms, nonprofits, and legacy organizations, modern marketing feels overwhelming or disconnected from their roots. MMM bridges that gap, giving you the tools, presence, and strategy to make your mission impossible to ignore.
Speaking & Professional Engagements
I am an active member of the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE), where I share my expertise in communications, design, and modernization strategies. At the NABE Communications Annual Workshop, I have served as both a planner and speaker for sessions designed to help bar associations and nonprofit leaders strengthen their messaging and impact:
“Celebrating Bar Success: Insights and Strategies for Thriving Communications” – Session Planner
“From Canva to Photoshop: Design Hacks & Creative Insights” – Speaker & Session Planner
“One Person Band Communication Tools” – Speaker
Through these workshops, I have had the privilege to help guide peers in navigating the challenges of limited resources, creative design, and strategic communications, helping organizations of all sizes elevate their presence and better serve their communities.
