Markie Johansen
Strategy + Storytelling
Markie is a creative strategist and brand architect who partners with visionary talent, founders, and creators to articulate their voice, clarify their message, and bring their ideas to life across media. With a background that spans service, events, and marketing, she has built a career around helping extraordinary people distill what they really want to say, and crafting the scaffolding that helps audiences understand, follow, and feel it.
Markie works as a thought partner to experts, artists, and cultural leaders, guiding them from raw insight to fully realized strategy. She has developed brand frameworks, narrative systems, and positioning for clients including celebrity experts, filmmakers, educators, and emerging voices. Her work includes shaping pitches for television shows, guiding creators through conceptualizing content, and helping talent build media strategies that reflect both who they are and what they want to create next.
Known for her ability to listen deeply and think expansively, Markie blends intuition with structure, creativity with clarity. She loves learning the rules just enough to break the ones that no longer serve, and she champions clients who want to be bold, take risks, and invest in their own evolution. Through her work at ARC, she connects clients with world-class executors, partners, and collaborators who help transform ideas into impact.
Her work is driven by one belief: when someone’s vision is seen clearly, the world can finally see them.
