Meet Melanie Taplett

---

I've got your back in conveying the right message to the media, customers, or employees. Think of me as a new member of your team, just a call away!

My journey in communications began at the University of Texas at Austin, where I immersed myself in the world of journalism. Reporting on various topics, from politics to lifestyle, taught me the art of investigative listening and the magic that good reporting can conjure.

From diving deep into stories in the newsroom, my path led me to the bustling corporate boardrooms spanning professional services, energy, and manufacturing sectors. I relished the dynamic environment, constantly evolving challenges and the need for on-the-spot strategic thinking.

Today, I aim to support corporate communication executives with a blend of my experiences. Some of the ways I support this include:

• Navigating the turbulent waters of crisis communications,
• Crafting compelling ESG narratives,
• Bridging the gap with trade media,
• Paving the way for a robust content strategy and its execution,
• Assessing and refining communication methodologies, and
• Drafting resonating internal communications.

You'll often find me enjoying quality moments with my family outside of work, whether it's cheering for my son at his swim meets, sweating it out during a workout session, or traveling.
