Bio
Margo Gillman, MPH
I have had the pleasure of working with Meredith Light for more than a decade to advance numerous large-scale health awareness, education, and behavior change campaigns for major government and nonprofit clients. A talented strategist and copywriter, she is extremely thoughtful, creative, and quick. Her award-winning creative concepts and content are catchy, smart, and come from the heart. Aside from being a gifted storyteller, Meredith operates from a place of wanting to "do well by doing good" and a spirit of collaboration, which is admirable in an industry where egos often dominate. I highly recommend her to any organization seeking brilliant creative strategy and support.

I've known and worked with Meredith for years. Her pen is on fire with incredible ideas. Whether it's social marketing, public affairs or retail advertising, she is a versatile writer who can generate compelling copy for any medium and any client. The reason I keep Meredith on my speed dial as my go-to writer is because she's fast, good and fun to work with.

Meredith is an extremely talented writer/creative director who brings a refreshing human voice and can connect with any type of customer in any industry in any media. She is also great with Art Directors since she has very strong visual talents and appreciation. I always know I can count on her to deliver something highly original, engaging and clever, yet right on strategy and right on time.
