Caitlin "Meraki" Durning had an idea spark while working for a non-profit organization. She never expected to run an Instagram giveaway that would turn viral, but that was just the beginning. If Caitlin could help one family-run non-profit grow their social media presence while raising a lot of money, she could help others. Caitlin used her credibility from that situation to create her business and Meraki Media Management was born. Meraki is a Greek word that means doing something with passion and from the heart - Caitlin helps her clients use social media as a resource to shine light on the meaning behind their brand.
