Megan Hannay

As a member of the Engagement team, Megan has quickly assumed the role of contact extraordinaire with hundreds of bloggers, Facebook fans, and Twitter followers. Megan brings a true love of the game; a comment on a client’s Facebook wall can make her afternoon, and an email from a blogger contact sends her to Cloud 9.

Megan approaches social media (as well as much of the rest of the world) from a slightly different angle. She sees beyond the immediate possibilities into the realm of inspired potential. Her original and innovative ideas are souvenirs from those trips into the future of new media. As an intern, she “won” her job at Ignite by responding to Jim Tobin’s challenge to outline a large campaign for a Fortune 500 client in fewer than 24 hours. She came up with an idea on the ride home and spent the rest of her evening (and early morning) creating an intricate ten-slide deck based on her inspiration. The client chose her idea over two others developed by more senior-level team members. Touché.

A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Megan spent her college years devoted to English, French and Creative Writing. She continues to hone her skills with the written word at Ignite, engaging across the social web on behalf of our clients, transforming contest announcements, YouTube tutorials and technical articles to messages for the masses, often in 140 characters or less.
