Since starting her business MarketingMel has been the subject of feature stories in Her magazine and Out ‘N About Magazine where she now writes a monthly social media column. Her foresight concerning twitter as a communications tool led her to be interviewed by WJHL-TV’s 11 Connects News. After that their news director asked MarketingMel to create and host a three part series on WJHL-TV called “Social Networking 101” that was shown on the evening news. MarketingMel is often interviewed on the subject of social networking for business on WJCW 910 Radio’s Thinking Out Loud and WFHG Radio with Steve Hawkins.
