Hidden Gems: Meet McKenzie Mitchell of Headline by MM

Today we’d like to introduce you to McKenzie Mitchell. They and their team shared their story with us below:

McKenzie Mitchell

For years, McKenzie had the idea to create a business embodying who she is professionally and tap into her life personally. McKenzie’s passion for the jewelry industry comes naturally. From a young age, McKenzie grew up helping her great-grandmother in and around her family’s fine jewelry store, Hubbards Jewelry. Hubbards Jewelry was founded in 1950 by McKenzie’s great-grandfather and grandmother, Bryan and Marie Hubbard. Hubbard’s is located in small-town Dexter, MO, and is still going strong today, 73 years later. Headline by MM combines McKenzie’s love for fashion, her family, and being on-screen. As a working on-camera host seen on international television for almost a decade, McKenzie knows what it takes to stand out and believes that a lot of our confidence comes from how we present ourselves. Headline by MM is designed to express individuality and uniqueness, and the pieces selected for our collections can be dressed up or down. All pieces are at the forefront of fashion with a classic twist. Some of Headline by MM’s pieces originate from Hubbards Jewelry and will be given back to our small family business.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story. Has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Of course not! There are many obstacles to hurdle when you are a creative designer, social media manager, owner, or founder—the list goes on. It seems like something always ends up falling through the cracks, but when you see the success of people loving a product or giving you credit for your hard work, it makes it all worth it.

I appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Headline by MM?
Headline by MM is edgy, statement jewelry that believes that being comfortable and confident in who you are starts with what you put on each morning. Some pieces at Headline are individuals from McKenzie’s family business; others came to life with a bigger meaning than just jewelry. We are so proud of our Center Stage spinner ring that serves as an outlet to relieve stress and anxiety with the prettiest look. It’s bedazzled and has a fidget spinner, but it’s beautiful! At Headline by MM, we value getting credit for standing out from a crowd. We recognize the act of boldly going after something you love and in all capital letters. We appreciate making headlines for being brave and different and respect the courage it takes to march to the beat of your drum. The Headline by MM is a compliment without getting one. It’s a way to feel good, look good, and attract the energy you want to give. It’s a reminder that you are always the breaking news. You are the Headline.

Before we let you go, we have to ask if you have any advice for those just starting out.
I often get told that people want to start a business but need help knowing where to start! My best advice is to conquer one little thing a day, and eventually, you’ll be in a place where your vision is clear. Finding a name you love is most important (and make sure you trademark it so you don’t run into issues down the road), and once you have your name, you can hone in on your brand and craft from there.

Pricing:

  • Headline offers beautiful pieces at an affordable cost! If you have been watching any award shows lately, you would’ve seen the likes of Victoria Monet, Florence Pugh, and more in a snake necklace. We have one that’s incredible without spending thousands. We stay on trend!
