Melisa J. DesirProfessional Profile
Strategy, structure and stories that sell.
I bring together two worlds that rarely sit in the same room: the discipline of corporate marketing and the instincts of a creative producer.
My background spans marketing budgets, performance reporting and promotional calendars in a corporate setting, operations management in hospitality, and more than ten years building an independent creative and marketing business.
Today, through BeeYou Media, I lead marketing consultation, brand messaging, content strategy and photo and video production for hospitality, tourism and professional service clients, managing every project from discovery to delivery.
