Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Micklish
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My career path began as an undeclared San Diego State University college kid. Psych 101 led me to a BA in psychology without a desire to become a therapist. A couple of college jobs with Red Bull and the San Diego Chargers influenced my thoughts about a life of marketing. So, I found myself stumbling into a community outreach position for a residential substance abuse treatment center 20 years ago. My career in marketing took off from there. I’ve had a chance to represent the therapeutic world including residential treatment for teens, wilderness adventure therapy for young adults, outpatient care, and more. After one year of testing entrepreneurship as a doula, followed by a taste of PR within the chef and restauranteur realm I decided to step back into what I enjoyed most. In 2018, I began building my marketing company, mollismollis.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
An interesting journey is never smooth. The good moments were often followed by obstacles, and the challenges encouraged growth. I look back on these 20+ years and have gratitude for it all.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about mollismollis?
mollismollis is forever evolving. In year one, we published a city guide for the urban neighborhoods in San Diego and supported the launching of local architecture projects. Currently, we focus on mental health treatment. We helped The Mental Health Collective open its doors in 2019 and launched a sister program The Neurodivergent Collective last year. From branding to capturing the wisdom of therapists on film, mollismollis builds trust authentically through digital and visual communications.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
As a kid, I had 5 imaginary friends. I’d often sit on the floor in my room calling them on a tan rotary phone. My parents were concerned. Today I reflect with delight as my imagination has always been my best companion.
