Marina Merchant-Dest

📍MD, DC & NYC | Marina@Marinamerchantdest.com

I’m a marketing strategist with a background in growing small businesses through organic traffic, content strategy, and community-building. I started by scaling my own business solo, which gave me firsthand insight into sustainable growth and creative experimentation. From there, I moved into UGC and brand work with Edelman for clients like Marshalls and NutroPet.

Today, I focus on helping mission-driven and emerging brands build long-term customer equity (not just drive short-term sales) by combining strategic storytelling, retention-focused campaigns, and a customer-first approach.

 

CONTENT CREATION MEETS INTENTION.
