The “M” at MGH is Andy Malis, who left the local shop of Doner, where he?d been vice president in 1995. The “G,” Malis say, is Jane Goldstrom and the “H,” Terra Hopson, two friends who share many of the same business ethics and goals he has.

Together they set up MGH, a Baltimore advertising and public relations firm that opened its doors in January 1996. Goldstrom serves as media director, Hopson as creative director.
