MARVE-LEAH-OUS

(NOUN, PERSON) – An Innovative, Curious, & Resourceful Content Marketing Pro.

Hiya, I’m Leah!

I was born in Washington D.C but raised in a small southern town too.

My experience in digital marketing goes back to when I was 16, and 1st interned with several award-winning agencies through AAF of Greenville’s internship program. I loved every second of the program, and the connections I made I still rely on for guidance in this weird and fast-paced industry.

AAF District 3 (which Greenville is a part of) liked me so much. Also, they gave me a $1,000 scholarship my senior year; which came as an excellent shocker, and you should totally read about by the way.  

I got to work with several companies within the Greenville, SC community including but not limited to Ferebee Lane Co., FishEye Studios, Prisma Health (Then Known As Greenville Health System,) and Jackson Marketing Group.

Desiring the city after high school, I attended college in Atlanta, GA.  Where I completed a B.A in Politics, went to over 20+ concerts, and went to the Chick-Fil-A HQ!

Every semester in college I held a marketing position as to dive deep and learn hands-on. And when I wasn’t filling a position,  was still learning new strategies through taking electives in the summer or researching on the web.

With all my experiences in high school relating to marketing, many were sure it was my predetermined path for my major in college. I decided, however, to take a nontraditional degree path, which has allowed me to explore the audience I would market it to on a deeper level. That deeper level being political and social.

As a Politics major, I have had a very nontraditional experience, focusing on topics outside the box. From city planning to human nature and Hip Hop (as well as a class on Beyoncé!) I truly have a diverse range of views that expand outside tradition topics,

A Swiss-army knife of sorts, I understand from a multitude of aspects, such as marketing, sociology, and more.

Even though I am skilled in marketing, over the years I’ve found more love for writing content on complex topics. In having a Politics degree researching, writing, talking, etc. about technical topics comes naturally to me. But also, in having studied Politics, I understand in depth the psychology/sociology behind audience’s mindsets.

Here’s what the streets are saying about me!
