Melisa J. DesirProfessional Profile
I bring together two worlds that rarely sit in the same room: the discipline of corporate marketing and the instincts of a creative producer.
My background spans marketing budgets, performance reporting and promotional calendars in a corporate setting, operations management in hospitality, and more than ten years building an independent creative and marketing business.
Today, through BeeYou Media, I lead marketing consultation, brand messaging, content strategy and photo and video production for hospitality, tourism and professional service clients, managing every project from discovery to delivery.

Clients & Results
From global brands to family owned businesses, I partner with clients who want more than pretty posts. I study marketing and business relentlessly, then apply it where it counts: on your reputation, your visibility and your sales.
Premium Client · Full Marketing Partner
One partner for every marketing decision, from the airport to online.
Retail · Seasonal Campaigns
Mother's Day 2026 campaign delivered 10x the sales of Valentine's Day.
Hospitality, Food & Real Estate · Ongoing Partner
Consistent presence, loyal customers and strong search visibility.
New Project · Marble Plaza, Friars Hill Road
For this commercial plaza under construction, I reworked the client's original construction fence billboard. I rewrote the message around one idea, "Your business deserves a front door," and rebuilt the layout so the offer and contact details read at a glance from the road. The new line has already been noticed and remembered by people who passed it.
Waste Management · Summer Campaign 2025
A campaign that raised the bar for a whole industry.
Agency Experience · The Marketing Machine
Helped scale KFC Antigua's Facebook audience past one million followers.
