Founder

Ben Meller

Ben Meller is the founder of Engage Era, a marketing news outlet for brands and founders, and Engage Era Studio, the social media and content agency that runs alongside it.

Why Engage Era exists

Marketing changes every week. Platforms add features, put new ones behind paywalls, change how ads get approved and how posts get ranked. Most business owners find out late, usually after it has already cost them reach or money.

Engage Era exists to close that gap. Three times a week it covers what changed, who it affects and what to do about it, in plain language and with every fact linked to its source. Think of it as the place founders check to stay ahead, without scrolling through the noise.

The newsroom and the studio

The news and the agency feed each other. Covering platform changes, campaigns and founder stories every week means Engage Era Studio sees what works before it becomes common knowledge, and the Studio's clients get to act on it first. The Studio handles strategy, content production, social media management, paid social and search for a small number of partners at a time.

Who Ben works with

Ben works alongside founders, artists and brands building audiences, and has created for names including SoFi, Oil Nut Bay, Good Molecules, Rise Above, Rome, Better Life Work and Beardy Brandon. The common thread: people with something to say who want their brand to feel bigger than a typical small-business account.

He calls himself the entrepreneur's entrepreneur because that's the job: helping the people building something get seen for it.

Where to find him

Ben is based in Palm Beach and Jupiter, Florida, and spends a lot of time on the road with the people he works with. The fastest way to reach him is email or Instagram.
