Marketwake’s CEO on growth, creativity, and the move to Campus 244 in Dunwoody
Marketwake CEO Brooke MacLean joins Dunwoody Dialogues to share why her fast-growing agency chose Campus 244 as its new home and how Dunwoody is becoming Atlanta’s HQ City.
In this live episode of Dunwoody Dialogues, host Mark Galvin sits down with Brooke MacLean, CEO and Founder of Marketwake — one of Inc. Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Companies and a four-time “Best Place to Work.”
About Brooke MacLean and Marketwake
Brooke shares how Marketwake grew from a one-woman startup into a thriving 75-person marketing agency now headquartered at Campus 244 in Dunwoody, Georgia. She discusses the importance of creativity, company culture, and “leaving a positive wake” — the idea that every brand can make a lasting impact through purpose-driven marketing.
From the inspiration that sparked Marketwake’s name to the agency’s decision to relocate, Brooke explains why Dunwoody’s walkability, green spaces, and growing business community made it the perfect home for her fast-growing team. She also coins a new phrase for the city — calling Dunwoody “Atlanta’s HQ City” — capturing its unique position as a central, connected hub for innovation and collaboration.
“Everyone leaves a wake behind them. Our job is to help it be positive.” — Brooke MacLean
Why Marketwake Chose Dunwoody
Brooke describes how her team’s needs — access to restaurants, collaborative workspaces, and a strong sense of community — led them to Campus 244. The move reflects a larger trend of Atlanta-area businesses shifting north to Dunwoody’s Perimeter Business District, where convenience and quality of life intersect.
As the newest member of the Discover Dunwoody Board of Directors, Brooke brings her marketing expertise and energy to the city’s growing network of leaders shaping Dunwoody’s future as a hub for business and creativity.
