What else do people want to know?
The questions that come up once the services themselves are clear.
A milk hat is a hat for a bottle of milk, which is an unreasonable object, and that is the point. Small businesses get sold a lot of reasonable-sounding marketing that does nothing, so the name is a reminder to be plain about what actually works. Plus it's the purple cow theory — when something stands out in a crowd (like a purple cow in a pasture of cows), you remember it.
Michael McIntosh is a creative by nature, with a degree in Music Composition and more than 12 years of experience in the technology industry. He founded MilkHat Media with a simple goal: create great digital work while giving clients a thoughtful, personal experience along the way.
He's built a small, agile team of professionals who care about the details and take pride in their craft. There's a little Gen X in the DNA of the company, too. We drank from the hose, rode bikes without helmets, rubbed dirt on it and grew up watching MTV. We learned to figure things out, adapt, and get things done.
Michael has found that the same skills he developed as an award-winning composer translate surprisingly well to the digital world. Whether composing a symphonic work or building a digital experience, the fundamentals are similar: thoughtful craftsmanship, creative expression, attention to detail, and quality execution.
