Bio
Jake Medina
Meryl delivered an entirely new creative strategy for social media and content at Edgard & Cooper, elevating the brand and generating fantastic results that speak for themselves. Many of the creative elements initially suggested have become key parts of the brandworld outside of just social, helping to drive the brand forward. Meryl also very competently implemented clearer ways of working when delivering her vision, managing the project so successfully that the brand continue to work alongside Meryl for monthly content planning, content shoots and any brand planning sessions that require extra creativity. I continue to recommend Meryl as the first choice for all things social & content!

Meryl is a very talented content creator and incredibly knowledgeable about the Food start-up/scale-up space. She has built a great range of creative and strategic skills at her time at HelloFresh and has been an integral part of the brand team helping us to fully form our brand identity and positioning. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for insights into content strategy/creation.
