Melia Stuppy

I wrote my first book when I was five years old. I typed it up on my mom's word processor (remember those?), and she printed out a few lines per page so I could draw my own illustrations. I'm no Dr. Seuss, but in the years that followed, I managed to author a number of odd stories of princesses and magic and dogs and even some moody, pre-teen poetry. All of these stories are now buried at the bottom of a box in a closet somewhere where no one can find them, as they should be. What I mean to say is, I've been telling stories my entire life, and they've almost always been as long-winded as this one. As an Account Director at Industry Dive, I help clients craft and tell their stories to B2B executives in their target audiences, including CPG food, grocery, K12, and higher education. Whether it's creating a comprehensive branding and awareness campaign around a new product launch, or brainstorming topics for custom thought leadership content, my goal is to serve clients and provide value to the readers of our publications -- all while telling a compelling story.
