What is #ForYou?
A newsletter for people who want to be online [as a creator, as a brand, or simply as themselves], but don’t have the time for it.
Every week, we share trends, tips, tools, and expert insights for people working in or near digital and social strategy. Whether you’re still thinking about creating that Instagram account or have an established following, we’ve got something for you.
What makes us special? Our newsletter is a team effort from a small group of people actively working with clients across industries. We give you high-level trend analysis and practical tips for using it [because we’re doing it every day already]. Simply put, we teach you what to do and how to do it - while being relevant.
Who is M.T. Deco?
M.T. Deco is a multidisciplinary agency that creates impactful digital strategy and social media content. We work with clients like YouTube, GoFundMe, and UTA to create a killer online presence and get them on the path to achieving their business goals.
Our founder, Melissa Blum, has over a decade of experience in the digital and social media space, with roots in broadcast journalism from NBC and CNN. She started her entrepreneurial journey in 2018, wanting to collaborate with a wide range of clientele in meaningful and creative ways. That coincided with the arrival of her oldest son, who now has a little sister and brother. [Which is to say, she knows what it means to be busy.]
MTD’s Head of Content and #ForYou editor is Kait Richmond, who met Melissa in 2013 when they worked together on CNN’s morning show. Kait was the overnight booker and begged Melissa to let her send 3am tweets as a way to get into social. They later worked together again at NBC. Kait has since started working with brands on both Comms and Digital Strategy, and is also working on a novel.
Megan Collins is a cultural insights analyst who is the stellar voice behind much of MTD’s trend coverage. Throughout her career, Megan’s worked to identify human insights and cultural trends to ensure her clients stay ahead of the curve. As a Gen Z expert and trend forecaster, she’s always on YouTube & TikTok. But, she’s also always on the lookout for the latest in culture, marketing, fashion, work, aesthetics, and more.
And the person who keeps us all together is Emma Marshall, MTD’s Digital Strategy Manager. She’s been with Melissa since the earliest days of MTD, supporting a wide range of clients and creating most of what you see across our social media channels. #CanvaQueen
