We were humbled and more than a little honored when Mackenzie Gokey joined the Triangle Smart Divorce Team as Marketing Manager.

Humbled because Mackenzie’s social media knowledge is unworldly. It’s not only that she’s a wiz with Facebook; an Instagram prodigy; YouTube aficionado; LinkedIn phenom; Google oracle; podcast savant; and is, at this very moment, undoubtedly getting up to speed on social media networks still in the prospectus stage.

And… it’s not only that she writes great content, blogs, and video scripts; or edited an Amazon #1 Bestseller; or can, obviously, handle any type of CRM system short of the NSA’s.

Lastly, it’s not only that, while still at North Carolina State University, she ‘designed and conducted interviews to identify perceptions of local wildlife and empirically analyzed respondents’ perceptions of local wildlife’ – a study that was included in an influential reference book.

It’s this: Mackenzie identified Triangle Smart Divorce as the Team she wanted to join – for its ‘culture, community, and mission.’

These days, as Director of Marketing, Mackenzie leads our dynamic marketing team in creating thoughtful, client-centered campaigns that build trust and make the legal process feel more human. She’s dedicated to sharing the heart of Triangle Smart Divorce through social media, digital marketing, and community outreach – all while keeping our messaging consistent and compassionate. She’s also out there building relationships with other professionals and organizations in the community to better serve our Clients and our Team. From gifting to long-term client engagement, Mackenzie is always looking for new ways to make clients feel valued and supported throughout their journey.

We’re also honored to have Mackenzie on the team because it’s not every day an owner of an iconic sports team joins a family law firm: Mackenzie is a Green Bay Packers owner. Granted, there are 537,460 other owners representing 5,2009,000 shares, and the shares pay no dividends, benefit from no earnings, and can’t be traded on any exchange – but Triangle Smart Divorce maintains (and always will) that an owner of the Packers works with us.

Mackenzie grew up spending every summer and holiday in Wisconsin (of course) and is a huge Big Red fan. She’s also obviously a fan of her alma mater NC State. She rationalizes the irreconcilable by noting that Wisconsin and NC State have been playing sports since the 1890s and have never met in football and only three times in basketball (one of those she was at, wearing simply a red shirt).

In her off hours, Mackenzie reads, runs, and plays tennis. She has a dog, Rooney, and a cat “that acts just like a dog” named Portabella. There are no reasons, marketing or otherwise, behind the names. Mackenzie and her husband make it a tradition to watch every Oscar-nominated Best Picture movie each year… just don’t bring up Green Book winning in front of them (they’re still not over A Star Is Born being robbed). Like Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, she dreams of returning to Bruges someday.
