Connect with Melinda Jackson:
With over a decade of international PR experience, I bring a unique approach to Public Relations, Branding, and Influencer Marketing, proven by my work on award-winning campaigns like GRAMMY, EMMY, & PRSA. My journey started in a small North Carolina town, where I dared to pursue an entertainment career in LA with just $500 and a dream. After seven thrilling years in the industry, I returned to NC, founding MJPR five years ago. Specializing in unconventional storytelling, I've helped entrepreneurs grow their businesses by sharing their stories in impactful ways. My approach goes beyond traditional press releases—I'm all about personalized strategies that deliver results. I'm passionate about sharing my insights, including navigating burnout and mental health struggles, to help others on their journey. I'd be honored to bring my wealth of experience and enthusiasm to your podcast and engage your audience with valuable content.
