Let me introduce myself

Hi, I’m Melinda, founder of MAILLARD Marketing and Strategy.

I partner with businesses and their marketing and partnerships teams to support them to deliver exceptional results. Ensuring they don't burn out in the process.

My role? To step in with the tools, strategy and hands-on support that free up internal teams to focus on what they do best: thinking big, being creative and driving impact.

Having worked inside organisations with lean teams and limited resources, I understand the pressure. The tight timelines. The competing priorities. The feeling that there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

That’s why I believe in the power of premium external support - whether for a specific project or as a trusted extension of your team. Sometimes you don’t need another full-time hire. You just need the right expertise, at the right time.

And that’s where I come in.

Making it make sense

Let’s simplify the brilliant stuff.
