Planning Manager
sally

Sally started her career in media at Merkle over 5 years ago in 2017, initially joining the Paid Search department.

In 2020, she completed the Strategy and Planning specialism. During this, she loved the opportunity to think more strategically and deepen her understanding of multiple channels and partners, so decided to fully make the move into the S&P team (and hasn’t looked back since).

Sally enjoys helping brands to innovate their media to build  meaningful connections with their customers and help them standout from competitors. She also has a passion for understanding and improving how media and creative work together.

Outside of the office you’ll find her trying out new restaurants, at a comedy/music gig or escaping to the beach!
