When we work together, I know her involvement will bring a project to a higher level, from creative vision to strong edits and sound management of the design process. Melanie’s knowledge of healthcare provider environments is a true asset to her work in healthcare IT marketing. Her competence, kindness and humor make it a pleasure to be part of her project team.

Melanie is a fantastic content writer and colleague. I am endlessly impressed with her capacity to dream up new media pieces and take on the complex work of collaborating with many internal and external stakeholders until the entire team is thrilled with the piece.

From initial brainstorming, planning and scripts (she’s a heck of a writer), to those on-the-fly decisions you have to make on set, she “thinks marketing” like few other professionals I’ve worked with. Working with Melanie is a teamwork experience – she brings the best out of everyone involved and even the toughest projects fly by with pleasure. Her mix of positive energy and great instincts mean the final product is fantastic, and – the #1 thing in this biz – profitable and effective for the end client.
