As summer came to a close last week, MILLIE was busy doing big things! We made our debut on Lifetime TV (exciting!), we launched another base in Hawaii, we hosted a Facebook live event and we reached out to the community asking folks to share their stories with us in our MILLIE Journal.

We’ve included links (for easy sharing), the copy for the posts (in case you’ve already used up all your creative juices today), the hashtags (for optimal millennial reach) and the MILLIE logos and branding information (in case you want to feature us on your front page or something).

If you’re one of our partners, please send us what’s been happening in your world lately by emailing me at alexis@gomillie.com.

Aug. 29, Monday — MILLIE Journal Post— Call out to writers (and anyone looking to tell their story!)

https://www.facebook.com/gomillie/posts/552338054955238

This week we reached out to our networks, letting them know we’re turning our MILLIE Journal into a small publishing platform. We want to hear stories from the community and we want to share them. Do you have a story? Do your followers have stories? We want to hear them!

Post Copy: At MILLIE we think of ourselves as much more than a company that helps people move. We want to be the source of inspiration for people in the military and Veteran community. While MILLIE’s products may focus on getting from point A to point B with as little stress as possible, we hope to lay the foundation for a stronger message. The way we approach moving — informed, decisive, positive — is the same way we approach our lives, we call it “The MILLIE Way”. We know that there is something special about this community, there is a thread of understanding among those of us that live this unique life.

We are turning our journal into a small publishing platform. A platform where people in our community can share stories about how they thrive. We want to know, how do you weave your personal interests, goals, or ideas, into this unpredictable adventure?
