Bio
Katryna Balboni
Meryl is simply irreplaceable. She is one of the most thoughtful, talented, and well-rounded marketers and teammates I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She brings creativity, dedication, and humor to every project. As a team member, Meryl is considerate, warm, and never fails to deliver on her promises. After working with Meryl for almost two years, I’m proud to call her a real friend.

The range of Meryl's creative skillset is remarkable and quite tough to find. In nearly 2 years of working with her at Wistia, it was clear time and again that she's not just a solid video producer, writer, or marketer. She's all three of those things, plus a talented brand strategist. As a member of the sales and success team, I always appreciated Meryl's thoughtful questions to get closer to customer voice, and her unrelenting knack for channeling those insights into content she produced. She also stepped up to transform a key aspect of internal communication at Wistia, making it more fun, compelling, and thus more effective (ask her about this). She pursued that project because she saw a clear need and opportunity, not because it was in her original job description. I haven't worked with Meryl in her new venture Left Paw, but I'm certain that anyone looking to better tell their brand story will be well served by her talents and passion.
