“We tapped Melanie as a fractional marketing director to rebrand our agtech startup Smart Apply and position for an exit. A year after hiring her, Smart Apply was acquired by John Deere. Her efforts managing all aspects of Smart Apply’s communications helped take our business to a higher level and added value to the sale price. It was wonderful working with her.” 

Jerry Johnson, Former CEO, Smart Apply, Inc.

“Melanie has been VisionTech’s communications strategist and writer for over a decade. She’s a quick study on the tech companies that pitch to our group and knows the investing process inside out. Now that she’s an investor, too, it’s hard to get rid of her.”

Ben Pidgeon, Executive Director, VisionTech

“PaizaBio is a contract manufacturer of injectable drugs in China. Our challenge was educating global companies and media on the opportunities. Given the technical subject matter, we needed an experienced brand consultant and writer. Melanie executed everything we needed superbly, from initial branding and website, to messaging, blogs and white papers, to international trade articles and sales collateral. Melanie is a joy to collaborate with!”

David Deere, Chief Commercial Officer, PaizaBio
