You know your Stuff.

Peapod Marketing & PR Consulting is a thought leadership agency that gives women entrepreneurs and leaders the tools they need to increase their credibility, share their expertise, and fine-tune their perspectives.

thought Leadership Is a Strange Term, Isn't It?

Our take? It's about bringing something new to the conversation.

The audience you’re looking to attract with your words and ideas? They’re so ready for something different.

In a sea of same, they’re looking for something that turns their head and makes them take notice. A perspective they can truly connect with. Let’s give it to them, shall we?

Need Some Help Amplifying Your Personal Brand?

Give peas a chance (we know, we know...bad pun) to write your content, strategize your social, manage your PR, tell your story, and connect the dots of your communications plan.

Let's Work Together

Or, maybe we start by talking about it first?

We approach all of our communications work from a place of exploration—and we pride ourselves on walking beside our clients and figuring it out together, rather than pulling you along for the ride.

Think of us as an enthusiastic, endlessly transparent, and overly-communicative wing-people (the Goose to your Maverick).

If we sound like people you’d want to have in our corner, dig into our services to learn about the work we’ve done for other clients!

Why Peapod?

We're endlessly curious.

Our favorite thing to say during calls is “Hey, you know how we think we could do that?” We love digging in and figuring out your business and what lights you up — and translating that into purposeful strategies words to share with the people who matter most to you.

We're great synthesizers.

We've had many a client say they work with us because they can throw a million little bits of information our way, and we can combine them in a way that’s crisp, clear, and thoughtful. Go on, throw us your most tangled thoughts. We'll straighten them out.

We're agile.

We move fast (within reason, of course!) and can deliver in weeks what might take a larger agency months to move forward. We also have a dance card full of people that are great at delivering what we can’t — design, websites, video, and more — and we keep ‘em close.

We're empathetic.

It's not just about what you think, it's how you make people feel. Our ability to understand how other people are feeling and being able to put ourselves in someone's shoes has been an incredible asset to our clients and the customers they want to reach.

We're always two steps ahead.

When you partner with us on a messaging framework, we're already thinking about how those words will translate to your website. If you hire us to write a blog series, we're usually daydreaming about all the nuggets you’ll be able to use for social media. We're equally focused on content distribution as we are on production, making sure your words and views get seen by the right audience on the platforms they use the most.

We're Thought Hunters.

When you're talking with us, we're always keeping our ears tuned for the stuff that challenges norms, the nuggets of goodness that your audience isn't hearing anything else. That's where the gold is.

Who We've Worked With

yes, We Have a Fan club!

Working with these people are our jam. Bonus: they seem to like us, too.

"I highly recommend partnering with Mel. She is a GEM! A talented writer and strategist, she’s fast, smart, creative, organized and always reliable. Simply put, she is consistently awesome! It’s such a relief to know that we can always count on her. She really knows and cares about our organization and brand, so much that it feels like she’s a member of our team. We value her expertise and are so grateful for our strategic partnership. Thank you, Mel!"

Alison Deshaw RoweDirector of Strategic Communications, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology

"Working with Mel was a 5-star experience. She matched our voice perfectly and crushed each of the articles we asked her to write. Plus, she’s such a fun person and was an awesome addition to our team!

“Mel is an expert wordsmith, an impeccable crafter of content, and a snappy strategist all at once. From education technology to nonprofit orgs to small business social, Mel can do it all— so just ask!”

Lauren Gilchrist and Erin WerraMarketing Content Team, Skyward

"Mel is the single reason I can offer clients a one stop shop. When clients ask for writing as part of our engagement, Mel is always the first call I make and for good reason — she not only hits the mark every time but she makes my job easy.

"As a designer, your writing partner has a huge influence over the design and the overall direction. I always appreciate that Mel is so collaborative and thoughtful about her content — never fluffy or verbose just for the sake of word count. Her ability to write content for the web that is not only on target but also keeps the overall hierarchy in mind helps to provide an end product that feels seamless even under the tightest of deadlines.

"If words are needed (and who are we kidding, they almost always are), Mel is my first call. Now and always!"
