WELCOME TO MERRITT MEDIA
BASED IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC
SERVING THE TRIAD, HIGH COUNTRY, LOWCOUNTRY & BEYOND
I'm proud to say that I was the first Digital Marketing Agency in Winston-Salem who offered the total package; strategic content creation, marketing & daily social media management & engagement.
Though there are now many digital marketing agencies & social media managers in town today, what sets Merritt Media apart is experience.
From a world renowned LASIK eye surgeon, an event company who worked hand-in-hand with Live Nation and all your favorite musicians, to this cities newest, oldest & most cherished restaurants, bars & businesses - I've strategically worked with every type of client. Because of this, I can confidently navigate any situation that is thrown my way.
I've spent over 9 years in this field, studying & testing trends & applications so that you don't have to. I am constantly investing into my business so that when you hire me, you are getting more than what you pay for.
I am always plugged in & always thinking about "what's next" for your page so that you can focus on what's most important - running your business.
Why merritt media?
I learned early on in my career that I couldn't do both content creation & social media management. Photography is such an art, and orchestrating a branding shoot + all the hours needed for editing is out of my wheelhouse.
*Amber enters the chat*
To ensure we capture your story, as well as all of the ins & outs that make your business what it is today - Amber will not only send you a questionnaire to get to know your brand, but she will also run through a shot list with you prior to your branding shoot to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
By letting Amber do what she does best, I am able to spend that time, energy & creativity on telling your story in a beautiful and fun way!

"Megan has been an absolutely joy to work with. She has been extremely attentive to all aspects of our social media presence. She makes sure that the aesthetic of our socials is in line with our overall desired media look, and she creates posts that keep our feed beautiful and balanced. She is careful with all the nitty gritty details of our content - which is a heavy lift in a business where our menu is constantly changing and customers get very upset if you make a mistake in the information you publicize! Personally she is a delight - an extremely positive and caring person who is always a pleasure to spend time with. I value her partnership greatly and recommend her highly!"
- Cary Clifford
FOUNDER & CO-OWNER OF CAMINO BAKERY
"We have absolutely loved working with Megan. Her service and expertise were a crucial part in raising our social media engagement and following over the past year. She stepped in to handle our social media accounts while I was on maternity leave, and it was such a seamless and easy transition. As a business owner with a marketing background, I held on to managing our social media for a long time, but I completely trusted Megan to take the lead and her experience in social media management proved successful. It was easy to track this success through analytics provided on a regular basis, and Megan always provided wonderful communication. If you are looking for someone you can trust to not only manage but grow your social media presence and business, Megan is your girl!

"Megan is the definition of an asset to your company:
She is reliable, organized, quick to respond, kind and so enthusiastic about your brand. She is determined and committed, no matter her life circumstances or what you throw her way to giving a brand representation and (impressive) results that you are proud of."

"I've worked with Merritt Media on the Best of Winston Instagram account for a few months and have been blown away by the positive results. For background, I managed social media strategy for Wells Fargo national accounts for years and have had a personal online presence for over 10 years with A Foodie Stays Fit, so I was hesitant to bring someone on to help with social media since I'm picky, to say the least. Megan *gets* social media, is on top of best practices and she takes the time to understand my business goals to ensure social is driving towards those goals. I can't recommend her services enough."
FOUNDER & PAST owner OF BEST OF WINSTON
"We have loved everything about working with Merritt Media. Megan is creative, quick to respond, and makes sure our brand always looks its best. We would recommend her to any company that is looking to improve its social presence and wants someone who is dependable and knows how to keep your business relevant."
-Nate Atkinson
CO-FOUNDER & BUSINESS DIRECTOR of VILLAGE JUICE & KITCHEN
"I have enjoyed working with Merritt Media this year. I love the way Megan is involved in our brand and goes above and beyond to create creative marketing ideas. Megan is always willing to stop in and communicate with the team and see what she can do to enhance our social media presence. Her personality alone brings so much to the relationship. I look forward to the next year together."
-Krystal Neal
Vice President of Operations & Strategies | Village Juice & Kitchen
"As a small business owner and <mild> control freak, I was super hesitant to hire out for literally anything. This year I took a leap and welcomed Megan to my mini team of behind the scene doers and I don't regret it one bit! Gives me an outside perspective, ideas, consistency and freedom. Social media a monster of a job and running a business is already time consuming and a lot by itself. If you run your own business and haven't started hiring help, I highly recommend Merritt Media!"

-Mary Pruett
“Megan hit the mark every month; posting Beautiful, Informational and Captivating content that stayed on brand with our business and contract. With Megan’s expertise in social media marketing, our business saw substantial growth with our set goals. As a small business owner, hiring Megan to manage our social media gave Magic Beans LLC the edge we were visualizing to generate and maintain business. Megan is trustworthy, FUN, our biggest cheerleader and has great business sense! If an OUTSTANDING social media presence is what you are looking for, we highly recommend Merritt Media”.
OWNER of MAGIC BEANS LLC
"I cannot recommend Merritt Media enough. Megan is passionate about what she does, which is evident in the care she takes with every aspect of managing a business's social media. She is very open and honest in sharing her expertise, but she also does a great job of listening to the business owner's vision. I think her biggest strength is the ability to create connection through engagement, creating a community of customers and fans. Megan is truly a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend Merritt Media to any small business owner who is looking to delegate their social media management!"
-Ellie Tate
OWNER of ELDER & CO
"I have had the most pleasant experience with Merritt Media since starting my contract with her in November. I have gotten so many compliments on her dedication to my social media and engagement. Since starting with Megan, not only have my sales increased..but my mental health has too. In todays world, social media is so important to stay relevant but after a 12 hour shift at work, the last thing I want to do is post on Fb/Instagram. Without Megan, I wouldn’t know where I would be. I recommend her to every business I can and would not trust anyone else to manage my appearance on social media. If you are hesitant about starting, please take advantage of her month trials to see what the hype is about. Worth every penny and more!"
-Keely Durham
OWNER of EUPHORIA & CO.
"We began working with Megan / Merritt Media right around March. When the world turns upside down and you are trying to keep your business alive the last thing you may think of as a resource is social media. Low and behold, it should have been the first thing I thought of.
As a business we have continually been trending upward since March and I know some of that has been influenced by the excellent job Megan does for us. There is a definitive P.M., pre-Megan, and p.M., yes, a post Megan, affect. The numbers reflect this themselves.
Truthfully, I walked into this business relationship a skeptic of the effectiveness of social media and have come out feeling that not only can I count on her to go the extra mile, but we have also benefited as a business from the work she does for Krankies everyday. She is truly a pleasure to work with."
-James Naquin
PAST HEAD CHEF at KRANKIES
"As a local real estate agent of the triad, I searched for a local social media agency that could ebb and flow, understand my vision, develop and implement strategies to market my brand, and collaborate on a daily/weekly basis. Thanks to a colleague, I found the perfect company! Merritt Media continues to market the brand as unique and sets me apart from the competition. The growth in the past few weeks has been phenomenal, and the results are paying off. Working with Megan Merritt Media has been a delight. If you want to elevate your business, contact Megan today!"
-Steven Montgomery
REALTOR with BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY
"Where do I even start with how awesome and helpful Megan is?! Let’s start by saying that her ability to listen and strategize in a way that helps YOU and your business is beyond anything you could expect! She has a way of showing you, and also making it easy for you to implement changes in your thinking that will drastically improve not only your exposure on social media but will result in actual tangible, countable revenue! I had an increase in business in a matter of days just from the exposure she got for me! If you’re on the fence of whether she’s worth it....she is!! Be like Nike and just do it, schedule that consultation and be ready to take notes that will without a doubt make you more prepared and excited to tackle the social media monster with confidence you’ve never had before!!"
-Johnson Coe

"I originally met Megan for her 1 hour consultation, and it was such an amazing experience. She's so knowledgeable, and gave me so many great tips to improve my social media. I've now decided to have Megan run my social media and I'm ecstatic to watch my account grow! I highly recommend her!"
-Sheridan Hicks
OWNER of BODYWORK BY SHERIDAN

-Whitney Venable

-Sheri Vettel
OWNER & FOUNDER of FOOD AND FLOW INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION
"Megan is a joy to work with. She’s enthusiastic, professional, dependable, and takes the time necessary with each account to connect with brand values in order to truly convey them on social media.

I recommend her to all small businesses that I work with and will continue to do so."
