Melissa Hougland is a Senior Executive Support for Tech & Creative Leaders at Meta. Colleagues describe them as "I partnered closely with Mel to manage an integral creative program within our global JBP with Haleon (formerly GSK Consumer Health) from 2020 through 2022. Our goal was to create a foundation for brands to go beyond the mobile minimums and collaborate in leveraging Meta’s platforms to unlock the richest creative opportunities for brands to make meaningful connections with people. By prioritizing 3 key pillars of Purpose, Innovation, and Representation, Mel worked to ensure multiple campaigns (with MULTIPLE stakeholders) were tracking towards shared global objectives across Haleon and Meta. At one point, the program had garnered 30+ briefs, with 16 moving forward for co-creation with Meta’s Creative Shop. Mel and I were in lockstep to quarterback all work streams; and we continued to work together in optimizing the program. Her contributions and leadership played a huge role in building and growing our relationship with Haleon over the years. With her role spanning multiple global accounts across verticals, she was able to scale our processes and learnings to other organizations and transform so many of our key partnerships. I truly hope to be able to work with Mel again in the future! Preemptively jealous of whatever team gets to benefit from her diligence, her efficiency, and most of all her empathy.", "Melissa has delivered solid contractors to fill our needs on a consistent basis and has typically delivered quality candidates quickly. She has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with.", and "Melissa is a great and pleasant person to work with; she has a great attitude and personality. I believe she will accomplish anything she puts her mind too."
