A new year, a clearer purpose: what remains, and what’s next
As we step into 2026, we wanted to pause, reset, and properly reintroduce ourselves—both to those who have been with us since the beginning and to those just discovering Mr. Keith’s.
Mr. Keith’s started as more than a brand. It was built as a reflection of family, values, and the belief that doing the right thing still matters—especially when no one is watching.
The Beginning
Mr. Keith is a husband, a father, and a lifelong believer in leading with integrity. The brand was inspired by the lessons passed down through family: show up for people, take pride in your work, and leave things better than you found them. What began as a personal mantra eventually turned into a platform—one rooted in consistency, quiet confidence, and purpose.
From the start, our motto has been simple: Do the right thing. That belief continues to guide every decision we make.
What We’re Continuing
At our core, nothing has changed. We remain committed to highlighting people and organizations doing meaningful work, telling stories with intention and respect, and creating content that feels honest, thoughtful, and motivating. Our focus has never been centered around trends—it has always been about community.
We will continue uplifting voices that deserve to be heard and sharing stories that remind us why integrity, service, and effort still matter.
Our Focus for 2026
This year, we are sharpening our mission.
Mr. Keith’s is becoming a Memphis‑centric digital space dedicated to uplifting and supporting the good happening right here in our city.
Memphis has always been rich in creativity, resilience, and heart. In 2026, our blog and social platforms will focus exclusively on Memphis‑based people, businesses, nonprofits, and initiatives that are making a positive impact. We’ll do this through intentional storytelling, consistent social media spotlights, contributor features, and by sharing everyday good news that deserves more attention.
Our goal is simple: to amplify what’s already working and give visibility to the people building something meaningful.
Supporting Small Businesses & Nonprofits
As part of this next chapter, we are expanding how we support Memphis‑based small businesses and nonprofits.
Mr. Keith’s offers a collaborative space to spotlight your work, tell your story, and reach an engaged local audience that genuinely cares about what’s happening in the city. Through thoughtful blog features and social media content, we help partners connect with people—not just impressions.
Our outreach is designed to feel personal, intentional, and aligned with your mission. Whether you’re launching something new, growing awareness, or simply wanting your work seen by the right audience, we focus on meaningful visibility rather than mass advertising.
We will continue to begin relationships by handpicking partners who we feel drawn to and delivering complementary features, which include a blog post and a social media spotlight. From there, prospective partners or existing partners who are interested in deeper or ongoing collaboration will have the opportunity to explore additional ways to extend their reach through our platform with rates that honor small business budgets while valuing the creative work, time, and reach of this platform.
If you believe in community‑driven storytelling and want to collaborate in a way that feels authentic and Memphis‑rooted, we’d love to hear from you.
Looking Ahead
2026 is about focus, intention, and service.
We’re here to celebrate Memphis, support those doing the work, and continue building a platform grounded in values.
Thank you for being part of this community. We’re excited for what’s ahead.
— the Mr. Keith’s Team
