Melissa Blackerby is a mission-driven marketer creating thoughtful content for ambitious ethical brands.
Writing and journalism nerd,
turned United Nations Youth Representative,
turned philanthropy communications professional,
turned startup marketing pro.
Yep, that’s me.
I’ve spent the last 10+ years crafting impactful stories for organizations large and small, local and international, startup and established.
Want to create some authentic mission-driven content? Let’s chat.
Let’s get this out of the way — I’m not for everyone.
I’m not interested in creating content without heart or humor.
One-size-fits-all copy? I don’t know her.
Watered-down mission messaging? Not my deal.
Surface-level SEO? We can do better.
I’d rather use my 10+ years of experience to create content and campaigns that capture attention, resonate with the right folks, and plant seeds for long-term impact.
About me
Here’s what I (love to) do:
Short-form and long-form writing (blogs, white papers, reports, all of the above)
SEO strategy (and I love a challenge)
Copywriting (for websites, ads, product marketing, whatever you need)
Social media (LinkedIn and Twitter are my faves, but I also have experience on TikTok, Youtube, and Facebook)
Creative direction (and there's nothing I love more than an appetite for off-the-wall ideas)
Digital analytics (unapologetic data nerd right here - I love digging into Google Analytics, Semrush, and Crazy Egg)
Skills
A brief list of things I love in a project:
Audacious missions
Decisive action
Emotionally intelligent co-creators
A willingness to take risks
A good pun
