About Melissa
I’m Melissa, founder of Visionary Search, a woman owned, minority owned B2B digital marketing and commercial photography business based in Plano, TX, serving Dallas Fort Worth manufacturers and distributors.
20+ Years Turning Search Into Revenue
Since 2004, I’ve been the strategist behind high-performance PPC campaigns and the creative eye behind the camera. I started my career as a PPC Director managing Google Ads for P&G’s oral care accounts, and went on to serve as Paid Search Director responsible for $10 million annually in PPC spend on a major CPG account, partnering with large agencies including Razorfish and 360i in Atlanta, Georgia. I also led digital acquisition marketing for PPG Industries’ paints and coatings business and served as Global Marketing Director for Rexel, an electrical supplies distributor. Over 20+ years, I’ve managed Fortune 100 budgets across paints and coatings, industrial distribution, CPG, security, retail, law firm, and lead generation accounts.
Today, Visionary Search brings that enterprise level strategy directly to DFW manufacturers and distributors, without the agency markup or the junior account handoffs, combined with the industrial and product photography that helps your brand show up looking as sharp as its strategy.
