My Story

For nearly two decades, I thrived as a sales and marketing strategist for a national media company, driving $9M in niche audience revenue and earning top industry awards. Along the way, I partnered with hundreds of CEOs across industries and built a reputation as the strategist leaders trusted when results had to happen. On paper, life was good — I loved my role and the clients I served.
 

But behind the wins, I noticed a troubling pattern. Media and digital marketing companies were thriving, while business owners were left frustrated, drained, and jumping from one tactic to the next. No matter how much they spent, lasting results never came. I realized the problem wasn’t the campaigns themselves — it was the lack of alignment between product, customer, and business foundations. Without that, every marketing effort was set up to fail.
 

That insight changed my path. I stepped away from corporate quotas and launched Merry Barrow Consulting, built around a proven approach I call the Foundation Builder. This framework helps entrepreneurs clarify their ideal customer, strengthen their product positioning, and create a foundation where marketing can actually deliver. By focusing on the core, not just the tactics, clients finally see their efforts pay off in ways that last.
 

Today, I don’t just love my work — I love watching my clients fall back in love with theirs. They are no longer chasing the next “quick fix” but building businesses on solid ground, ready for sustainable growth. And the best part is knowing the possibilities ahead are even greater: more freedom, more impact, and more confidence in the results they can achieve.
