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

A recent Seattle transplant from Virginia, Taylor is a Senior Paid Search Analyst and avid drummer. He enjoys helping clients exceed the goals they’ve set for their programs.

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.

Laura is a Digital Advertising Manager. She is a Richmond, VA native & Resident and Seattle wannabe (she’ll settle for visiting a few times a year). Laura loves keeping up with the latest paid search trends, winery tours, and any activities where she can bring her Golden Retriever, Penny.

Liz leads the Project Management Organization at Wheelhouse DMG, coordinating the workflows between the Digital Strategy, Analytics and Engineering practices. She’s passionate about helping teams function smoothly. When she’s not in the office, she’s probably training for another marathon or paddle-boarding with her dog.

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).

A Virginia native, Oscar is a Senior Paid Search Analyst. When he’s not optimizing clients, he can be found supporting his college marching band and reading fiction.

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.

Natalie specializes in Technical SEO and Conversion Rate Optimization. She’s the eyes and ears on the clients’ sites. When she’s not recommending site structure improvements, she’s probably visiting another Seattle brewery or exploring the Pacific Northwest.
