Meet the Merritt Media Team
About Us
Back in 2015, Merritt Media was Winston-Salem’s first digital marketing company to offer businesses the complete package: strategic content creation, expert marketing, and daily social media management and engagement. Though there are many digital marketing companies today, what sets Merritt Media apart is a proven track record of experience and success with a diverse range of clients.
At Merritt Media, every post is crafted to authentically reflect your unique voice and vision, as if you were behind the keyboard. With in-house copywriting, a talented and experienced branding photographer, and a skilled content creator for reels and videos, the team brings your social presence to life in a fun, clean, consistent, and professional way—all while staying true to your style and purpose. Merritt Media is more than a social media manager; it’s a partner dedicated to amplifying your brand.
Eventually, Megan left Ralph Lauren to become a Social Media Strategist for multiple medical scrub companies. Managing over 21 social media accounts was no easy feat, but it opened her eyes to a significant gap in Winston-Salem’s market. Businesses were desperate for an affordable, authentic, and comprehensive social media strategy. At the time, many marketing companies offered outdated, uninspired content at steep prices, leaving a void Megan knew she could fill.
After a memorable girls’ night and a glass of whiskey (maybe two), the idea for Merritt Media was born in 2015. Since then, Megan has been transforming the way businesses connect with their audiences, offering a personalized and creative approach to social media marketing. The rest, as they say, is history.
Straight out of high school, Megan wasn’t sure what career path to take. All she knew was that she wanted to work hard, save money, and eventually support a family. At 19, she began her journey as a Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist specializing in athletes. Simultaneously, she took on multiple roles as a Sales Coordinator, Operator, and Manager for a small business, quickly mastering the art of building connections and managing the unexpected.
A few years later, Megan received an offer she couldn’t refuse: Inside Sales Representative and Product Specialist for the United States Golf Division at Ralph Lauren. While navigating this exciting career shift, she stumbled upon something unexpected—selling Stella & Dot Jewelry. To boost her sales, she launched an Instagram account in 2013, where she discovered her natural talent for social media.
I’m happiest outdoors - whether that be running, backpacking through Grayson Highlands, kayaking the Pamlico Sound in Hatteras, hiking with friends, or being anywhere in Boone, Blowing Rock, Asheville or Charleston. My ultimate dream is to hike the Appalachian Trail, and I’m determined to make it happen someday.
At home, life is full of love, laughter, and of course a dose of chaos with my sweet 3-year-old and our golden retriever, Norm.
In 2020, my husband and I tied the knot in an unexpected way—right in our backyard with just six people at the start of COVID. It was intimate, special, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it.
When I’m not exploring or with family, you’ll likely find me cooking and baking, listening to Grateful Dead, Noah Kahan, Fleetwood Mac, or Alabama Shakes.
I am a big advocate of stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new every year. Last year I learned to fly fish and I loved it so much. My goals for the next couple of years are to learn how to make pottery, run a half marathon, learn how to rock climb outdoors, and learn how to needlepoint.
I am an optimistic realist and quality time with no phones present is my love language. As an extroverted introvert, I cherish meaningful connections but also need those quiet moments to recharge.
