For nearly 20 years our small team has been serving customers like Google, Virgin America, Live Nation, and the National Writing Project.
"When we talk about Makalu here at Google, we always say that it’s more like working with other Googlers (an internal team) than an external vendor—you’re flexible, user-focused, creative, open/honest, motivated, together (not us vs. them)—all Googley qualities."

We built and operated Letters 2 President 2.0, for the National Writing Project.
