Here's some killer content work Melinda Belcher did for:

ecomagination.com

As frog’s first ever content strategist, Melinda worked to redesign ecomagination.com from a content perspective, breathing life into static wireframes. She created a killer editorial team and crackerjack staff of knowledgeable writers in the science, energy and green spaces. Melinda taught an agency and a company how the publishing model works, and how to make it work for them—positioning GE as a thought leader and positive presence among key influencers.

UNICEF Emergency Response Simulation Game

Picture
Melinda developed the first paper prototype of the UNICEF Emergency Response Simulation Game, a two-hour, immersive experience designed to illustrate the challenges of humanitarian relief work. Players gather in a conference room or similar space, where they are organized into 5 content specific teams. A web application accessed on a computer acts as a guide for play. Through the course of the game, players must work within their team and across teams to complete a collection of various tasks, culminating in submitting a supply plane order to UNICEF headquarters in Copenhagen.

Girl Scout Daisy "Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden"

Melinda researched existing Girl Scout Daisy programs across the nation to understand the great work volunteers were already doing with girls. Leveraging current best practices, Melinda came up with the Daisy Flower Garden concept to tie fun learning activities together into a project-based narrative about Girl Scouting. Melinda and her team tested the Daisy Flower Garden concept in focus groups and hired a vendor to bring the curriculum to life. In Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden, Girl Scout Daisies learn about the Girl Scout Promise and Law while planting a mini-garden, composting, or even talking to a beekeeper. Then they do a project using their new skills to help others or to improve their community.
