Scott Merilatt

Director of Digital Strategy

w/Us Since November 2014

Scott is the Director of Digital Strategy at Wheelhouse DMG. He started with the company in 2014 as a content writer and now manages the Digital Strategy team — the “engine room” of the SEO practice, responsible for delivering ongoing SEO work, audits, content gap analysis, outreach, content creation, and more. Scott also provides direct strategic recommendations to organizations with multiple sites in their online ecosystem. Before Wheelhouse, Scott worked as a content specialist and digital marketer at a variety of Seattle-area tech companies, including Amazon, Cobalt, and Marchex.

Scott was born and raised in the Seattle area and lives in Ballard with his wife and son. His stereotypical interests include coffee (to a fault), writing, reading, baseball, trees, and beer. But he also has a deep appreciation for classical music, British comedy, Eritrean cuisine, and his 40-minute walks to work every morning.

Meet the rest of our team

Sunni is the Associate Team Lead at Wheelhouse, with a passion for digital storytelling. A Seattle native and PNW lover at heart, they love snowboarding, soccer, coffee, and hunting for the best gluten-free food in the city. They also like to travel, drink top shelf bourbon and the perfect avocado.

Erika is a Search Associate at Wheelhouse DMG on the SEO team. A NW native, she loves to ski, read, and run in between chauffeuring her three kids (and the family dog) to more activities than she cares to think about. She also loves Prosecco and Oreos, but not together.

Leigh Anne is a Sr. Paid Search Analyst at Wheelhouse and a UT grad (Go Vols). She enjoys travelling, running, Harry Potter puns and discovering new restaurants. As a Memphis native, Leigh Anne is still trying to find the perfect spot for some sweet tea and Three 6 Mafia.

Etana is a Search Strategist who is passionate about digital marketing. You can often find her dining alone (but with a book for company), playing soccer for the beer after the game and rooting for the Mariners & Seahawks (when she isn’t crossing her fingers for a Seattle NBA & NHL team).

Dana is an ultra-marathoner with a love for dogs and exploring. She’s also an Enterprise Strategist focused on helping clients expand their SEO reach.

Rob provides technical guidance in tag management, integration testing, design review, and JavaScript development on our Engineering Services team. When he’s not working, you’ll find Rob on his bike, planning a camping trip, or exploring the Pacific Northwest.

Pilar is our Accountant and local QuickBooks expert. Besides doing the books, Pilar also enjoys playing the cello and hopes to round up the Wheelhouse troops to start a band one day.

Anthony is our Principal Analyst. When he’s not helping clients with conversion rate optimization, he can be found strumming a guitar, composing music, and spending time with his partner Nicole.
