Caroline Mameesh is the founder and sole operator at Mameesh Content.
She graduated from Cornell University in 2020 not having a clue what she wanted to do. She knew pursuing higher education wasn’t for her, but she didn’t have any job prospects.
She ended up landing a job at a Silicon Valley tech startup spearheading the marketing and content teams. This is where she discovered the world of SEO blogging.
Presto! The flame ignited. She knew she wanted to start her own business one day, but never thought it would be right out of college. At the end of 2020, she left her full-time job to combine my passion for writing and SEO.
Caroline tried working for other agencies but quickly realized they were flawed. She spoke with many people who were in desperate need of a writer who met deadlines, delivered high-quality work, and was someone they could trust.
She knew she could change this industry, and so Mameesh Content was born.
