Brenda Meller helps the self-employed, executives, and corporate teams enjoy a bigger slice of the LinkedIn pie. 

An introvert at heart, she first realized the power of social media when making a career change using LinkedIn at the height of Michigan’s economic downturn in 2008. She started sharing her knowledge of social media through workshops, webinars, presentations, and via blogs.

In 2017, the universe nudged Brenda forward and her side hustle led to her unexpected dream job at Meller Marketing. In 2019, she set and met a personal revenue goal and rewarded herself with a promotion to Chief Engagement Officer. In 2020, she completed her goal of writing her first book, "Social Media Pie: How to Enjoy a Bigger Slice of LinkedIn," available in paperback, e-book, and in audiobook formats. In 2023, she launched her first podcast, "Enthusiastically Self-Employed" and her signature LinkedIn training course, "The Recipe for Social Selling on LinkedIn." 

Brenda’s approach to teaching LinkedIn has always been to present information in a “judgement-free” zone, where there are no bad questions, and to make sure every attendee is inspired, informed, and entertained while gaining new insights that can be put to use right away.

In addition to being self-taught across social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and more), Brenda has a solid marketing education. She earned a bachelor of science in business administration degree with a specialization in marketing communications from Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, and a dual MBA and master of science in marketing from Walsh College. She also earned her competent communicator (CC) and competent leader (CL) status in Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization. A lifelong learner, she continues to invest in her own personal and business education through online courses and programs, seeking offerings through women and peers in her network. 

​

MichBusiness named Brenda a MichBusiness Most Valuable Professional in 2017 a Marketing & PR Prophet for Meller Marketing in 2019. Meller Marketing was also named a 2019 HRUnite! Advocate, celebrating her support of the HR community. 

She is a member of Inforum, Michigan’s largest professional women’s networking association, where she founded the Troy networking group in 2009 and continues to serve as leader of the group. She is also a member of Innovation Women, a “visibility bureau”, shining a spotlight on professional women speakers.
 

Brenda is an enthusiastic speaker who loves engaging with audiences, both at conferences and corporate events. In 2019, she became a national speaker, and speaks to dozens of conferences and organizations every year.

You can find Brenda Meller and Meller Marketing online and on all major social media channels.

Other Fun Facts: Brenda loves her family and her rescue dog Pepper, and she also loves coffee, dark chocolate, and homemade pie. In her downtime, she enjoys jigsaw puzzles. One day, she hopes to learn how to play chess.
