about meredith
meredith makes artists’ dreams into reality.
A digital strategist specializing in podcasts after 15 years doing just about every job you can do in the book publishing industry.
build your audience, achieve your goals.
We can start at square one or level up an established creator brand. I believe in concrete goal-setting, measurable progress, thoughtful messaging, and timelines.
WHAT DO I DO?
So glad you asked.
I believe in asking artists “what’s next?” What are your goals? What would be a dream come true? Then we make a plan to achieve that. Then we achieve that. Then we have a postmortem and start on the next level up.
Real goals, real guidance.
If you ask me how to build an audience, I will tell you. I will not run you around or give generic advice. We will make a plan with action steps, timelines, measurable goals, and results.
