THE REAL VALUE

Bring what's on your plate.

Leave with clarity.

How It Works

  • Wednesdays at 1:30 PM EST — a standing call, no scheduling back-and-forth

  • Max 4 per session — small enough to be real, everyone gets heard

  • Flexible topics — strategy, systems, communications, brand — wherever you need it

  • A path to more — members get first access to deeper engagements and project work

  • Shelley Armstrong, Executive Director of The Launch Pad

    “I am forever grateful for Melanie's wisdom, creativity, and support! As a new non-profit, we needed everything from a website to a donor management system. Melanie took the time to get to know our organizational mission and to understand exactly what we needed as we continued to grow. She listened to our needs and ensured I understood how to use and maintain all the new tech. I would recommend Rad Work to anyone who needs a professional on your team without having to hire one full-time. ”

  • Bethany Fraser, Owner and Founder of Twenty 1 Media Group

    Working with Melanie for over two years now has been a great experience. Mel is thoughtful and intentional, not only about the work but about how it’s delivered and the process along the way. Mel makes professional work environments not suck.

  • Perry Piper, Owner and Attorney at Piper Law Firm

    "I love Melanie. Always accessible. Superior knowledge, fantastic work. Great value, too! She can fix a lot of problems."

  • Peggy Douglas, Executive Director of Southern Exposure Productions

    “Rad Work created a functional and intuitive website with a lot of heart for our nonprofit theater company. The design has a clean, flawless look with just the right number of graphics that would appeal to anyone with a technical background or not. Without reservation, I would recommend Radical Work for any organization that wants to build an online presence, grow their brand, and connect with their target audiences.”

  • Kelly Summersett, Life Coach

    “Melanie has Squarespace technology tricks up both her sleeves. She's my go-to Guru whenever I need help (typically with emergencies I have created for myself) and gets me straightened out fast. She is also a patient teacher and has empowered me to start fixing my own emergencies ;)

    What's more, her sales and marketing background helps create succinct and on-target brand messaging. Melanie's back and front-end expertise makes her the total package.”
