McCann New York

Mel is a VP Executive Producer at McCann NY. She has worked with a long list of clients, with Verizon, L’Oréal, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola being some of the most notable. Her produced work features high-profile talent like Blake Lively, Freida Pinto, Lea Michele, Maurice Harris, Jorge Gutierrez, Melissa Arnot, Sandra Equihua, and Zoe Saldana, to name a few. Entertainment Weekly called her most recent project with Microsoft as one of the top holiday ads in 2020. Along with being a producer at McCann, Mel is also the co-chair and founder of McCann Q, the company's LGBTQIA resource group. The group enabled the agency to spearhead excellent work like Mastercard's “True Name,” "Acceptance Street," and Verizon's “Love Calls Back.” Mel takes pride in creating meaningful, inclusive work and maintaining an inclusive environment not only on set but throughout the work and its entirety. Her upbringing and education at NYU were heavily influenced by TV and film and sees the industry to effect change and make powerful and valid social statements.
