Mel Thomey joined WildEarth Guardians in the spring of 2023 bringing several years of digital strategy experience in the progressive space. Mel’s digital experience has run the gambit of turning out a record number of youth voters in 2020 through her digital organizing work at NextGen America to helping international climate NGO Stand.earth have its most successful digital fundraising year.
Whether it’s running a multi-channel paid media campaign to protect orcas on the west coast or launching a congressional campaign, Mel’s attention to detail and passion for creative solutions makes her a savvy digital practitioner. Mel is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and when she’s not analyzing data, you can find Mel obsessing over her rescue cat or kayaking on one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes (during the summer).
