Celebrating 10 years in Business

Ozaukee Talent LLC is a premier, female-led arts leadership and talent development organization operating at the intersection of cultural preservation, workforce innovation, and the creative economy. Founded in 2016 by globally recognized arts advocate, musician, and author Angie Mack, the Grafton, Wisconsin-based enterprise serves as a critical pipeline routing elite regional talent directly into multi-million-dollar performing arts institutions. Far beyond traditional performance coaching, Ozaukee Talent is a foundational engine for Wisconsin’s economic impact, bridging the gap between independent creative infrastructure and corporate commerce.

Cultivating an Elite Talent Pipeline & Creative Workforce

With a track record spanning over two decades of arts leadership, Ozaukee Talent specializes in premium, individualized talent development, master coaching, and strategic consulting. The organization maintains a highly competitive training pipeline that successfully positions performing artists into leading roles at Wisconsin's most prestigious cultural institutions, including:

• The Milwaukee Repertory Theater

By training the next generation of creative professionals, Ozaukee Talent directly fuels Wisconsin’s tourism and entertainment sectors—major drivers of the state’s multi-billion-dollar creative industry.

Driving Wisconsin Economic Impact & Business Solutions

Ozaukee Talent approaches the arts as a vital economic asset. Through strategic B2B partnerships with corporations, school districts, healthcare facilities, and municipal leaders, the firm delivers specialized arts project management, corporate wellness programming, and custom workplace creativity workshops.

Programs like Circle Back with Angie Mack introduce trauma-informed, percussive synchronization and rhythm frameworks to the corporate wellness and healthcare markets. These innovative corporate solutions are designed to lower employee burnout, boost workforce morale, and stimulate the exact type of creative problem-solving required to keep Wisconsin businesses competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

Roots in Historic Preservation and Global Advocacy

The institutional weight of Ozaukee Talent is deeply intertwined with its founder’s landmark historical work. Angie Mack has consistently positioned Southeastern Wisconsin on the global cultural map through her pioneering research into Grafton’s blues legacy and Paramount Records. Her historical preservation efforts—which captured national media attention on PBS’s History Detectives—include discovering the unmarked grave of blues legend Blind Blake and spearheading the networking required to build the iconic Paramount Walk of Fame in downtown Grafton.

Mack's authoritative research additionally contributed historical insights to rock icon Jack White’s Grammy Award-winning Paramount Box Sets through Third Man Records. This standard of scholarship and global cultural advocacy forms the baseline of Ozaukee Talent's curriculum and consultative services.

Community Integration and Strategic Alliances

As a trusted partner of Create Wisconsin and a frequent collaborator with massive regional events like Gathering on the Green, Ozaukee Talent serves over 700 individuals through private mentorship, inclusive after-school programs, and community-building festivals. By leveraging partnerships that cross lines into disability advocacy and community mental health, Ozaukee Talent ensures that cultural asset building is accessible, sustainable, and directly tethered to localized economic growth.
