About Melanie

I live, breathe and love marketing — just ask anyone who knows me what I’m passionate about, and they’re sure to agree.

My marketing career goes back more than 25 years and includes stints with global, well-known firms and experience working with small- to medium-sized businesses and nonprofits. At varying times, I’ve been an employee, a contractor and an independent consultant.

In January 2016 after working many years in Corporate America, I became an independent consultant — a marketer for hire, you might say. (Side note: I was self-employed before, but that was pre-social media, pre-digital marketing and pre- most anything online!)
