About Maria Miller

Social media is not a media. The key is to listen, engage, and build relationships.” - David Alston My fascination with the dynamic world of social media, from its early days on AOL Instant Messenger to today\'s diverse platforms, stems from its power to foster genuine connection and relationship-building between people and brands. This constant evolution demands agility and innovation from marketers.For over two years, I\'ve been a dedicated Social Media Manager at WayPoint Marketing, where I thrive on researching trends and testing unique messaging strategies to drive engagement and measurable growth. My strategic approach centers on understanding our audience: What do consumers on this platform want to see? When do they want to see it? How do they want to engage with our brand? How can I optimize and scale content for future growth?Previously, as a marketing manager for an IT recruiting and AI/ML solutions company, I helped tell their brand story and foster partnerships, contributing to their mission of revolutionizing recruiting through technology. Before that, I honed my skills on a healthcare marketing team, contributing to omnichannel strategies that significantly drove patient volume. A highlight was overseeing marketing efforts for the Outreach services department, extending vital free health services—from expectant mother classes to street medicine clinics—into the community.Beyond work, I\'m a passionate cook and baker, with my sourdough starter, Phoebe, leading many kitchen adventures. I also find balance and relaxation through yoga, meditation, and mindful movement. Living in Columbus, OH, my husband and I are avid NFL fans (Go Browns!) and love our local pizza spots. I also embrace my inner Swiftie, having experienced the magic of the Eras Tour. 🪩🥖
