Property Content that Went Viral (or did really well)
For Villa Avellana in Costa Rica, I made a reel showcasing their yacht trip and beach picnic experience. It got over 150k likes and brought in hundreds of inquiries.
This was the first reel I created for Villa Avellana’s beach picnic experience. It was well received and ended up inspiring the ultra-viral fish taco reel that, yes, even SZA liked).

"I loved working with Melanie on the new hotel website! Her wide range of digital competencies and meticulous attention to detail were fundamental to the success of the project. I highly recommend Melanie if you are looking to upgrade your digital presence."
Rafa & Iban, Owners Casa Marimba
“Melanie was amazing! She did a really good job improving our website and creating a bunch of digital arts and blog posts we needed. She adapted to our vibe and requirements super fast and was always improving in order to give the best of herself. The communication with her was perfect, everything was clear. She even gave yoga classes to our customers and we got great feedback from them.”
Madison Cornelius, Maddy’s Avenue Food + Travel Blog
“I work as a travel publisher and engaged Melanie to write creative, SEO-focused articles about the places she visits. For many years prior, I have known Melanie to be a passionate, creative, kind, open, and honest person. Unsurprisingly, these qualities come through in her work too, as she consistently churns out detailed and soulful pieces, on time, that always hit the brief. I thoroughly enjoy working with Melanie and would recommend her writing services to anyone looking for stellar content!”

“I'm really happy with the website Melanie created for my project, Fango. She was very professional, quick, and understood exactly what I needed. Working with her was a pleasure!”
