About Shawn

Clarity,

Creativity and Campaigns That Inspire Action.

Hi, I’m Shawn Maus — the voice and vision behind Mighty Maus Media. I help mission-driven organizations find the words that win support, grow their audience, and inspire people to act. If your website isn’t bringing in donations, if your campaigns fall flat, or if your story feels unclear, I can help you turn that around.

For more than two decades, I’ve used words and stories to help others connect with their audiences. I’ve mentored students who went on to Broadway and Hollywood, guided nonprofits to messaging that moved donors to give, and helped leaders cut through jargon so their mission finally clicked with the world.

Along the way, my work has been recognized with honors, including the Iowa Motion Picture Association Award of Excellence for Community and Corporate Marketing, Semifinalist Screencraft Drama Screenplay Competition, the Chicago Screenplay Quarterfinalist, Quarterfinalist in the first annual Stage 32 Family-Friendly Screenwriting Contest, and recognition from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

I’m a certified copywriter through AWAI and an active member of PRSA and the Professional Writers’ Alliance, which keeps me at the forefront of best practices in copywriting, PR, and storytelling strategy.

That’s why I founded Mighty Maus Media: to bring clarity, creativity, and strategy to the organizations that need it most. Because your mission deserves more than attention.

It deserves action.

**Why Work With Shawn — Not AI?**

What AI Misses, Humanity Delivers

AI can generate words. But it can’t capture the lived experience, creative craft, and emotional intelligence that make stories resonate.

AI generates words. But meaningful storytelling? That's a human art- and the reason Mighty Maus Media exists.

Proven Experience
I’ve spent decades writing copy and campaigns that move people to act. From nonprofits to purpose-driven brands, my words have raised funds, built communities, and inspired trust. AI can imitate style — but it can’t replicate hard-earned results.
Guided Expertise
You’re not just getting words on a page. You’re getting a strategist who knows how to structure a story, position your message, and connect emotionally with your audience — the kind of expertise that makes the difference between noise and impact.
Collaborative Process
AI doesn’t listen. I do. Every project starts with understanding your mission, your challenges, and your goals. Together, we shape copy that feels authentic to you — so your audience doesn’t just hear it, they believe it.

I use AI as a research assistant, but the copy itself is always written by me — so your story stays human, personal, and powerful.

The difference?
AI writes at people.
I write for people — and with you.
