Hello, I’m Melissa \u2014 an award-winning Social Media Strategist with over eight years of experience helping businesses, large and small, execute social media strategies that boost brand visibility, increase engagement, and drive business growth through a strong online presence. Currently, I work as a Marketing Specialist at IKEA\u2019s North American Service Office overseeing organic social media strategy, content development and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I partner with stakeholders to blend creativity and data, producing thumb-stopping content that converts and retains customers \u2014 helping move them along the journey to becoming brand advocates while supporting lead-generation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I’m not saving memes to an overflowing folder on my iPhone 11, you can usually find me walking my dog, Kurt Cobain, at Core Creek Park or recreating recipes off of TikTok in my kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","talk_category":[],"event_category":[615],"class_list":["post-35321","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","hentry","event_category-america_2026"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMelissa Newman -
