Michelle Nelson founded Back 2 Basics Marketing, LLC in 2007 with less than $300. Starting from her hometown of Peoria, IL, she realized there was a need for a marketing company that served both small and large businesses. Today, Back 2 Basics Marketing has grown and expanded to offices in St. Louis, MO and Denver, CO, serving a nationwide array of clients. Michelle is grateful she took the chance to move to St. Louis, which allowed her company to grow and bless her with clients, friends, and team members.

2. In 2007, Back 2 Basics Marketing, LLC was founded by Michelle Nelson with less than $300 and an
unrelenting determination and will. Michelle frequently visited the St. Louis area; and after doing
extensive research on local marketing businesses, she quickly realized something... there were no
marketing communications companies that tailored their services to both small and large
businesses. After much thought, Michelle was ready to make a change and went back to her
hometown of Peoria, IL, packed up her son, dog, and cat and settled in St. Charles County. Back
2 Basics Marketing, LLC started with its first client that Michelle accidentally met in a grocery store.
Today, Back 2 Basics Marketing, LLC has a growing array of clients nationwide with offices in St.
Louis, Missouri and Denver, Colorado.
“Sometimes you have to take a chance in life and change the direction your life is going. I am
glad I took the chance to move to St. Louis, because today I am blessed with wonderful clients,
friends and team members.”
Michelle Nelson, President & Chief Marketing Creator
of Back 2 Basics Marketing, LLC.
