Strong client relationships are important to me.

I’m grateful for the business I have and the people and companies who count on me. I do everything I can to meet or exceed their expectations.

I focus on two different target audiences. While they may look broad, each has its own perks and quirks … and I mean that in a good way:

• Creative professionals (graphic designers, web developers, other marketers, etc.), where I’m often doing behind-the-scenes work and they’re client-facing.
• Business owners and in-house marketing teams, where I’m working more directly with the end client.

Here’s what some of my clients have to say about partnering with me.

Czarina Carden, Director of Marketing at First San Francisco Partners
Services Provided: Content Development and Social Media Management

Melanie is a highly skilled and well-rounded marketer adept at managing content initiatives that have consistently driven traffic, engagement and leads for us. In the four-plus years, I’ve worked with her, Melanie has seamlessly delivered an effective content strategy across our website, blog, social media, email and webinar channels. A kindred “data nerd,” she also diligently measures and identifies opportunities to optimize on those initiatives. She may have started as a newcomer to data management, but Melanie is now proficient in our business and industry — and she, most importantly, has a firm grasp on what content our audience is looking for and how (and where) they want to consume it. Melanie is a capable and reliable multi-tasker and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Ilise Benun, Business Coach at Marketing Mentor
Services Provided: Case Studies and Blog Writing

Not only can I always count on Melanie to deliver the highest quality content (blog posts, case studies and much more!), but she also generously brings her many years as a marketer to bear on my projects to make them better than I could have imagined.

Highly recommended!

Andy Brenits, Owner of Brenits Creative
Services Provided: Case Studies and Blog Writing

We needed help with case studies for our completed projects and turned to Melanie for help. She did an amazing job collecting the details of the projects, and insights directly from clients. The results create impressive content we use to prove the ROI of working with us. Prospective clients have commented on the case studies, which is the ROI of the work Melanie did for us. Great work, I highly recommend Melanie.

Yamilca Montanez, Managing Partner at Saint James Studios
Services Provided: BLOG Writing and Marketing Consultation

It’s wonderful to have a partner like Melanie on your side. Whenever I have a marketing question or need to email a newsletter, I’m reassured with her level of expertise. I feel confident that I’m targeting my audience with the right message every time. She also makes me feel like I’m her only client. She’s very responsive, always available and willing to jump in to offer solutions and problem solve.

Thank you for all you do for me and my business, Melanie!

Rob Ellerman, Owner of Ellerman Vacation Rentals
Services Provided: Website Revamp (New Design and New and Refreshed Copy) + Site Migration from GoDaddy Platform to WordPress

My vacation rental properties’ website was needing time and attention, which I didn’t have. So Melanie stepped in to save the day. She worked with my hosting company to move the site from a plain-jane, GoDaddy template to a new look and new back-end (WordPress). Melanie freshened up images and copy along the way, too. These enhancements better reflect my Florida properties to my desired rental market, and I’m happy to have had Melanie’s expertise.

Megan Neher, Principal of Megan Neher Public Relations
Services Provided: Developed Content and Managed Projects for PR Agency’s Clients

I met Melanie Deardorff on a professional association board many years ago where I was blown away by her imagination, diligence and energy. She only accepted success and excellence as a result. We worked together professionally for many years after that serving clients, and she brought that same level of honesty and excellence to her client work. Melanie has a tremendous background in marketing, web and social media, but it was her organization and personality that always made me happy to let Melanie lead a meeting because I knew she would wow the client and keep us on track.

Denny O’Connell, Managing Partner of SC4E Solutions
Services Provided: Developed a Squarespace site for A coaching business

I enjoyed working with Melanie. She quickly understood my needs. She offered excellent suggestions to improve the content and produced an excellent website for my needs — and ahead of schedule.

Melanie is easy to work with and very responsive. I’d recommend her for your marketing and communications needs.

Heather Kay, Keto Coach at Your Body by Keto
Services Provided: Developed Content for Online Coaching Program

I initially connected with Melanie on Instagram over our shared love of the keto diet. This connection quickly turned into a business relationship when I hired Melanie to write 60 educational emails for my new keto-coaching program.

With Melanie’s understanding of the ketogenic way of eating, her writing skills and her ability to match my desired tone and voice for the emails, she was quickly able to write them on my behalf — and to my great satisfaction. This saved me a ton of time and allowed me to get my coaching website completed. Consider me a happy client!

Laurie Shadoan, Chief Advancement Officer at Special Olympics Missouri
Services Provided: Developed Content for Social Media and Assorted Promotional and Advertising Projects

Melanie worked hard to understand our mission and needs of our organization to prepare creative marketing pieces that highlight what we do. She listened carefully to our needs at Special Olympics Missouri and has since created exceptional social media content, print ads, billboard art and more for our capital campaign to build a state-of-the-art training facility for athletes to learn, train and grow called the Training for Life Campus. She has been able to capture the magic that is Special Olympics in our marketing content and it has been very effective. Her quick turnaround, attention to detail and quality of work is greatly appreciated. We tell her what we are thinking … and she brings it to life!

Julie Bartels Smith, Owner of JBSmith Communications
Services Provided: Copywriting for JBSmith Communications Clients

Partnering with Melanie for my clients is a dream. She is both a strategic thinker and a practical, hard worker. She challenges me and contributes in all the right ways, is willing to pick up the ball when needed and always meets her commitments. She is respectful of my client relationships, as well. What’s best is that I learn from her along the way, and we have constructive debates that make us both better consultants and writers.
