Boutique marketing agency Maclyn launches Lightbox Grant

NAPERVILLE - Maclyn, a full-service marketing agency serving national brands like Dunkin', is proud to announce its inaugural Lightbox Grant is now accepting submissions. An initiative designed to give back to the communities they serve, the grant will provide one lucky business with a fully customized suite of marketing services - valued up to $75,000 - free.

"I'm the proud son of a small business entrepreneur," said Bill Murphy, managing partner of Maclyn. "We are a small business as well. After seeing so much struggle in the small business community during the pandemic, our hope is to give a small business with big potential all the marketing services it needs to get on the road to recovery."

The program's concept sparked from the agency's growing base of small business clientele - ranging from manufacturing and professional services to family-owned businesses - and a desire to give back to the communities that they serve. "We are passionate about marketing and enjoy giving back. The Lightbox Grant was born out of a true desire from our team to make a lasting impact on a deserving small business in our community. We are all eager to lend our creativity and expertise," added Courtney Healy, Maclyn's strategy director and project manager for Lightbox.

Businesses must be located in the Greater Chicago or Des Moines area and submit an application online detailing their business challenges, goals, and why they are deserving of the grant. The submission deadline is September 30. All applications will be reviewed and a winner will be announced in the Fall.
