About mrge Marketing:
Our goal is your growth

Melissa Gallo is the founder of mrge Marketing, a fractional CMO and marketing-as-a-service agency launched in 2018. She built mrge Marketing around a simple idea: growing companies need senior marketing leadership and hands-on execution, not just another vendor relationship or a full-time hire before they're ready for one.
Today, mrge Marketing works with many companies, often stepping in at the exact moment a market shift forces a business to rethink its positioning and marketing. Under Melissa's leadership, mrge has helped clients double revenue year-over-year, forge new strategic partnerships, expand into new customer segments, and land ongoing contributor spots in major industry publications. She leads a tight-knit team of strategists and specialists who bring big-agency thinking without big-agency costs.

Outside of work, Melissa is a bit of a thrill seeker - you're just as likely to find her ripping down a mountain bike trail or carving up the slopes as you are to find her strategizing a client's next campaign. She's a devoted cat mom and spends her favorite hours with her husband and son.
