Our Advisory Committee

Maranda Kitchingham is the founder and brand strategist behind Mint Branding, an Oklahoma-based boutique branding studio dedicated to elevating brands through intentional design, curated promotional products, and memorable client experiences. After more than 25 years working in branding, product design, event strategy, and client engagement, Maranda founded Mint Branding to deliver the high-value, relationship-focused experience she always wished existed in the promotional products industry.

Today, Mint Branding is built on three core pillars:

Creativity & Innovation — Delivering fresh concepts, elevated products, and strategic brand consulting that raise the standard for what promotional products can be.

Community & Collaboration — Strengthening Oklahoma’s business ecosystem through meaningful partnerships, shared success, and a commitment to supporting organizations at every stage of growth.

Empowerment & Growth — Providing businesses with the tools, strategy, and guidance to leverage branding for measurable results—because when brands tell better stories, they create deeper impact.

Prior to founding Mint Branding, Maranda served as Director of Outreach for the Meinders School of Business at Oklahoma City University, where she spent over a decade building corporate partnerships, developing brand and communication strategies, and speaking at conferences and community events across the region.

Today, through Mint Branding, she continues her mission to help businesses tell their story —authentically, creatively, and with impact.
