The nexus between government, politics and the media is a hot spot like almost no other – where issues, reputations and careers can hinge on that one speech, that one event, that one story. The team at Melwood Global knows the stakes because they have lived them – as government and political reporters, and as top-level spokespeople – creating messages that move the needle of public opinion.

From 2012 to 2015, Melwood Global was a primary strategic communications, messaging and social media consultant for ED’s signature Race to the Top grant program.

Melwood has served as the strategic communications adviser to the major players in the Boston Compact as they strove to make high quality education available to all students in the city.

Melwood has earned media stories and placed opinion articles for Interise and its partners at the Small Business Administration in publications ranging from NPR to to The Times-Picayune.

Prior to opening the company, Melwood's founders worked as media advisers to the Government of Afghanistan with support from the Department Of Defense.
