Reference Letter from Marcy Walker, past member Johnson City Commission and Johnson City Board of Education

Marcy Walker
I had full faith and confidence in Mary Ellen Miller of MarketingMel to represent me during my run for the Johnson City Commission in 2011. Her enthusiasm, professionalism and knowledge of social media are some of her major assets. I trusted her to speak for me on my Facebook page when it was needed and throughout the campaign. Although I made it my practice to communicate directly with supporters I always trusted Mary Ellen to represent me when needed. She is a creative thinker who is very social media savvy. She also assisted me in organizing volunteers and community events at assisted living homes and she coordinated my volunteer letter writing effort. I recommend Mary Ellen and her company MarketingMel for her professionalism in communications, her ability to coordinate numerous events (and keep them all straight), and her immense knowledge of how to maximize exposure on social media.

What MarketingMel did for Dan Eldridge for Washington County Mayor Campaign
August 2009-May 4, 2010
I hired Mary Ellen Miller (MarketingMel) to assist me with the campaign public relations once I decided to run for Washington County Mayor. I had been acquainted with Mary Ellen for several years and I knew of her professionalism and I knew that we would work well together.
I was extremely pleased that Mary Ellen and her company, MarketingMel, provided a pleasant alternative to other political publicists in the Tri-Cities region. I initially asked her to help me with a news release and to represent me at public functions where I could not be present. She ended up playing a far greater role than that.
MarketingMel was in charge of all public relations and campaign PR strategy including all social media, all special event planning, oversight of both the Web site http://www.electeldridge.com and logo creation and administration of the web site.
She wrote the campaign launch announcement and oversaw ensuing press releases and created our campaign e-newsletter. She accompanied me to Editorial board meetings and other media opportunities.
She regularly interfaced with local media and planned and coordinated all special events including the campaign announcement at Grace Meadows Farm Oct 27 the election night celebration party at the Bistro May 4. All press announcements including media advisories.
Mary Ellen took part in all of my campaign strategy and planning sessions and Implemented all online strategy including video strategy. MarketingMel actually shot several of the videos used on the web and in TV commercials.
She created the family e-Christmas card and monthly e-newsletters and worked with the professional photographer.
She created the data base of volunteers and campaign contacts.
Mary Ellen assisted campaign co-treasurer Al Fatheree in the volunteer coordination effort for election day
Marketing Mel conducted, shot and posted videos with various members of my family for use on the Web and social media.She represented me at the GOP dinners and gubernatorial functions when I was unable to attend.
MarketingMel was the final proofreader on all paid advertising (including direct mail, print, radio and TV!)MarketingMel coordinated all election night media and follow up and worked with area media and accompanied them on pre-and post-interviews.
I would highly recommend Mary Ellen Miller and her company, MarketingMel as a trusted public relations strategist. Please feel free to contact me at the Washington County Mayor’s office should you have any questions about Mary Ellen and leave your phone number. I will be glad to personally call you back as her reference.

Martha Lawson, Mary Ellen Miller, Jon Lundberg and Dr. John King were the PR Pro Panelists
I just received this day brightener of a note from an ETSU college student who heard me speak on last week’s PRSA PR Pro’s Panel. Thank you Mary Williams for your kindness!
Dear Mel,
Hello, my name is Mary Williams and I was in the group from ETSU that came to the PRSA luncheon yesterday. I just wanted to thank you for taking time to speak to us. I thoroughly enjoyed all of your advice and insights on PR and found it to be very beneficial not only as a student but also as I am nearing graduation and preparing to enter the “real world”. I especially loved your comparison of Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook to the specific cars. It definitely helped me better understand those social networking tools and when to use each one appropriately. It’s always encouraging for me to see women in successful roles and it seemed that you’re not only successful, but also enjoy what you do!
Again, thank you so much!
Mary Williams
Vice President, ETSU PRSSA
MarketingMel at ActionCoach presentation
As you may recall September 17th I gave a presentation to ActionCoach clients who are local business owners. It was called “What me tweet? Why Business Owners Should Care about Social Networking.” According to ActionCoaches Lee Huffman and Curt Henry the presentation got great reviews. One of the business owners, Jim Leinbach of Leinbach Services, even took time to write me this kind note which he is graciously allowing me to publish. They do everything from electrical and HVAC to handyman and janitorial services! Thanks Jim. So very glad to be of assistance to you and your company.
I was texting the office during your whole presentation for the Growth Group, telling them the next things we’re doing.
I went that day and bought Face book, Twitter, and Linked-in for dummies. We were already on Face Book and Linked-in, but after your talk were going to get better. We’re now signed up to twitter but haven’t gone far YET.
Your talk confirmed that we needed to get stronger with these.
Thank you
Jim Leinbach President
