Senior Copywriter — Merrill Burchell

The first time someone recommended that Merrill follow a career as a writer, she was seven years old. After a lively exploration of the alternatives (doctor… architect… Indian chief?), she followed her second grade teacher’s good advice.

She has gained more than 20 years of experience in corporate and marketing communications, working as an in-house editor and creative director for Merrill Lynch; a partner in a New Jersey advertising agency; and a consultant for major corporations. Her wide-ranging work has won awards and boosted sales for high-profile medical, financial, technical, charitable and retail businesses, including Siemens, Merck, Durkee-French, Morgan Stanley, Equitable and Bloomberg. Today, Merrill uses her expertise to write effective copy for our clients. An acting enthusiast, she loves the dual challenge of delivering a clear message while staying ‘in character’ — creating and maintaining a company’s distinctive voice
