Connecting people through story

I take an integrity-first approach to copy direction that prioritizes your values and helps you reach your goals with data-driven, customer-centric storytelling. I offer valuable insights for your business, brand, and creative strategies.

Strategic guidance

Whether B2B or B2C, I will help you analyze business challenges from your customer’s perspective and advise messaging and creative strategies across brand, product, and growth marketing.

Creative direction and copywriting

Build lasting relationships with audiences by optimizing your customer journey and creating high-quality content that’s accessible and engaging. I can partner with your team, work solo, or bring in support.

Team building and structure

When a team jives, it’s magic. I can help boost morale, mentor junior team members, and depending on your needs, establish your copy department by creating a playbook to run it and helping hire a team to power it.

“Meredith is a powerhouse. Full stop. She helped our team be better
at everything we did and made the creative process
feel intentional and enjoyable.”

Getting started

  1. Intro survey. I’ll send you a short questionnaire to learn about your needs so I can prepare for an intro call.
  2. Vibe check. 30-minute meet-and-greet on Zoom to answer questions and see if it’s the right fit on both sides.
  3. Sealed, signed. If it’s a go, we may meet again to flesh out more details or do it async. Then I’ll craft an SOW.
