Why I Love My Job
I’m an analyst and problem solver. At Jaffe, I use these skills every day and love the sense of accomplishment when a client's issue is resolved.

Professionally Speaking

By combining content marketing, SEO tactics, email campaigns and social media strategies, she develops an integrated digital marketing formula best suited to each client to provide exponential impact.

With a strong background in Google Analytics and other online measurement tools, Melanie begins from the ground up, determining goals and key performance indicators. Custom reporting allows her to work with clients to track the success of initiatives and adjust tactics where appropriate.

Personally Speaking

I’m a part thrillseeker and part homebody who values quality time with close friends and family. My technophile side allows me to simplify my life so I have more time to play. Even though I have multiple devices, I still like to read from a “real” book instead of a tablet. Gym memberships don’t work for me – I’d rather be outside where exercise isn’t contrived and my dog can tag along. Powder days are the best thing on the planet, especially on bluebird-sky days.
