Melinda
With over a decade of experience across the marketing spectrum – from the technical depth of SEO to award-winning website design – I’ve always been driven by the intersection of big-picture creativity and the systems that bring it to life. Since joining PPA Agency, my role has evolved into Client Partnership Director, where I align strategy, growth, and operational performance to drive measurable results. I work closely with leadership to refine delivery frameworks and build scalable processes that support long-term agency growth.
I reside in Columbus with my husband, James, and our five animals: Fritz, Cupcake, Oliver, Faith, and Moon. When I’m not refining agency systems, you’ll find me leading a Bible study, perfecting my sourdough skills, or pulling a fresh Americano from my home espresso machine.
Before joining PPA, Melinda had an interesting past – it’s entirely classified and what we are about to tell you cannot be shared with anyone.
Melinda always wanted to be a secret agent, an “International Woman of Mystery,” as she put it. In 2018, Melinda was recruited by the Secret Homeland Essential Services for Heroic Extremes Department, or SHESHED for short. Her first and only assignment was critical to maintaining the world’s supply of peanut butter as the evil Mr. Peanut had set his monocle sight on hoarding and controlling the global peanut supply chain. Mr. Peanut had already taken control of the shipping ports for the world’s three largest peanut exporting countries of India, Sudan and the United States. The U.N. was having trouble locating Mr. Peanut, but Melinda believed he was hiding in Brazil as he was clearly over roasted by being exposed to the sun and had become a little too nutty. She followed her instincts and was right. Melinda had to crack her way into his fortress and by disguising herself as a cashew statue, she made her way to Mr. Peanuts office. She crippled him by kicking away his cane and was able to easily apprehend the nutorious villain. He was brought before a U.N. criminal tribunal and Melinda was awarded several accommodations for allowing peanut butter to once again spread freely across the globe. Unfortunately, the mission left a bad taste in her mouth as she didn’t enjoy as-salt-ing a man with a monocle, wearing a top hat and using a cane. Melinda quietly retired and returned to civilian life.
The next time you are enjoying the smooth, creamy taste of peanut butter, thank Melinda. And the next time you need to discuss your creative service needs, think of Melinda.
