The unique leader behind the unique company:
Mojo Media Labs is a truly unique company in their niche and with their exemplary team and services they provide not only makes their mark in the marketing industry but also sets them apart as leading pioneers in the field. And the man behind setting up Mojo Media Labs and also skilfully taking the team ahead to unveil their full potential and also boosting the overall growth of the company is R. Michael Rose, the Founder & CEO of Mojo Media Labs.
His growing years revolved around his grandparents’ home in Pennsylvania, his Northern Italian grandmother’s lively table, dinner parties, the restaurant, and his dad’s deli. People in this small town still remember his family’s hospitality. This instilled a feeling of care towards others and the responsibility of looking after the happiness and satisfaction of others in him.
After high school, they moved back to Ft. Worth as it had more opportunities compared to the small Pennsylvania town. He became the first in the family to go to college. He didn’t want to pursue entrepreneurship or business like his father. Instead, chose pre-med and then switched to biochemistry. After graduation, he was offered two job opportunities to choose from — a crime lab in Ft. Worth, or the chemistry lab at Alcon. Michael remarks if CSI wasn’t a thing back then he definitely would have gotten into the crime lab, so he chose Alcon. He loved the research and analytical side of working in the lab alongside really brilliant people.
Four years into his career, he got the itch to try something new and enrolled in law school. He kept working full time while in school. The first summer after law school he started on a path that would lead him in a drastically different direction, away from the lab and the law.
A friend of his gave him a promotional product catalogue to review the pricing for some custom embroidered shirts. He noticed the profit margins right away and a germ of an idea started to grow. Around the same time, his lab was switching to a more casual dress code, and he knew they would be purchasing golf shirts with an embroidered logo, like the ones he had seen in the product catalogue. Sensing the opportunity, he consulted with his father, Jack, who was a successful salesman at a printing company by that time, about buying embroidery equipment.
“Why embroidery?” was his first reaction, but after consideration and scoping out the field, his father was on board and encouraged Michael to buy equipment.
That is how Michael started an embroidery and promotional products business, his first venture into Marketing. He didn’t have room to store the equipment anywhere else, so he ran the business out of his parents’ backyard, in what they called the Dog Shed. Working in the lab during the day, fulfilling embroidery orders during every spare minute of the day and night, he was once again a team with his mother and father in the family business.
His mother, Janett, the brains of the family, kept the accounting side of the business in order. His father, Jack was his best unpaid salesman, drumming up new business left and right. Eventually, they landed a large account for Michael’s craft store, making all of the embroidered aprons for their employees to wear across the country.
The business in the Dog Shed was booming. They did $100,000 in sales in the first six months. They expanded, bought more equipment, hired people to help his parents (who spent their evenings finishing aprons in front of the TV). And yes, they moved out of the Dog Shed.
From that very humble beginning, making custom embroidery casual wear and expanding into promotional products, he got a passion for the business owner life. Years later, he changed course once again, from a product-driven business to a service-focused business, and launched Mojo Media Labs.
He felt compelled to pursue deeper relationships with people and clients, and one way to do that was by taking care of their broader marketing needs as a service agency. This was at a time when digital marketing and web services were in their infancy. It was obvious that this was the next right move.
Fast forward a decade, now Mojo Media Labs is a full-service marketing agency with offices in Dallas, Indianapolis and Oklahoma City. My #1 concern as a business owner is for our people. Happy People = Happy Clients. Their official vision statement for the company is to Enrich Lives. Michael often reflects on his mother, his father, and his grandparents, who taught him those values and how to care for people. It’s a better inheritance than a trust fund or business lessons could ever have been.
