Melanie Monteiro has been part of the Los Angeles ad scene for nearly 20 years.  A freelance copywriter for top agencies such as DDB, TBWA/Chiat Day, David and Goliath, Grey Worldwide and Dailey & Associates, she’s created national television, radio and print campaigns for Mitsubishi, BMW, Kia Motors, California State Lottery, Activision, Atari, PetsMart and Epson. She’s also a voiceover artist, lending her voice to national TV and radio spots for Panda Express, Westfield Shoppingtowns, even a top-ten rated Superbowl spot for Ameriquest. In addition to working on exciting projects for Seed, Melanie might be found raiding a pot farm in Angola, swimming with whale sharks in Western Australia or hiking through Papua New Guinea with a local wearing nothing but a gourd and a big smile.
In addition to advertising and traveling, Melanie also has a passion for dogs.
