About Leah Pippin

I’m passionate about building relationships, crafting strategic content, and driving engagement. As Marketing Coordinator at Merge, I help elevate our brand and connect with agency founders through community-building, thought leadership, and industry partnerships. From managing our Slack community and LinkedIn presence to developing case studies, eBooks, and webinars, my goal is to create valuable resources that support agency founders through the M&A journey. At Merge, I love finding creative ways to amplify our impact —whether through PR and paid media efforts, optimizing our website, or organizing networking events and conferences. My background in hospitality, sports, and entertainment management from the University of South Carolina taught me the power of storytelling, adaptability, and community-building—skills that fuel my work every day. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring new restaurants, catching a game, or diving into creative projects. If you’re interested in M&A, marketing, or just want to talk football, let’s connect!
