A disclosure before anything else: this isn't an arm's-length client story. Jon Petrous co-founded Men In Business, and JpCS handles its creative work. We're including it in this series because the group is a real part of how we operate — but you should know exactly where we stand before reading further.
Men In Business is a networking and professional development group in and around Macomb County, Michigan, built for ambitious men across every industry — technology, finance, healthcare, real estate, marketing, manufacturing, and more. Rather than the standard conference-room mixer, MIB brings members together through hockey games, golf outings, business forums, and workshops designed to build real relationships instead of stacks of business cards. Membership runs through the Anchor Bay Chamber of Commerce and Macomb County Chamber of Commerce.
The premise was simple: local business owners and operators grow faster when they actually know one another. Not in the exchange-cards-and-never-follow-up sense — in the sense of knowing who to call when you need a roofer, a printer, an accountant, or just someone who has already solved the problem in front of you. Men In Business exists to make those connections happen on purpose rather than by accident.
That belief is also how several relationships in this very series started. We met Scotty at Rapid Dry Carpet Cleaning through this network.
JpCS handles the group's creative work — keeping its look consistent across events, promotional materials, and its online presence. A volunteer-driven networking group is competing for the same scarce thing every business competes for: someone's evening. Looking organized and credible is part of earning it.
If you're a Macomb County professional looking for a networking group built around real relationships instead of small talk, this is worth a look.
Whether it's a growing company or a growing community, we build brands that people recognize, trust, and want to be part of.
