Michele Millard

Director, Content

Professional Background

Michele Millard is the Director of Content at 321 Web Marketing, where she oversees the writing and editing team behind everything the agency publishes for clients, from blog posts and service pages to press releases.

Most of the job is standards. She builds the brand guide that governs each client’s voice, then edits against it line by line.

Michele came to editing by way of the building industry and criminal justice. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and a paralegal certificate from Boston University, which turns out to be useful more often than expected, since law firm clients advertise under bar rules that general editing experience doesn’t cover.

Outside of work, Michele flies old Cessnas, hikes, and spends time with her family. She reads constantly and keeps returning to writers from the 1930s, particularly Dale Carnegie, John Steinbeck, and Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston especially, for how much she gets done in a plain sentence.
