"Before working with Mercedes, I was struggling to build a cohesive narrative around the experience that I've had with clients, really in efforts to scale and attract new clients, and I knew I wanted to leverage media in order to scale my company. After two weeks, I was not only paid to write articles, but I was featured in Business Insider."

Hi, I’m Mercedes!
As a journalist, editorial leader, and video producer with an Emmy nomination under my belt, I know firsthand how the press and media can propel a business to new heights of success. Having served as senior editor for NextAdvisor, a personal finance brand in partnership with Time, led the video team at Money.com, and served as senior investing editor at Bankrate, a prominent personal finance media firm… I know exactly how the world of media works.
The saying is true – your network is your net worth. That includes knowing who will get you in front of millions of your target audience, how to talk to them so that your story gets picked up, and what their audience wants to hear in order to magnify your visibility.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.
As your publicist, I'll use the connections I've built as a journalist to help propel your business in front of the people that need you the most.
So what are you waiting for?
