Merryman Communications’ Betsy Merryman sees positives in video calls

Despite the rise of Zoom fatigue, perhaps the wide adoption of video conference calls will be a net positive.

That’s the assertion from Betsy Merryman, founder, president and managing partner for Merryman Communications. Tools she says she couldn’t live without include Microsoft Teams, which helps her stay organized and connected to a remote team.

However, remote work has offered lots of positives and taught her a thing or two about resilience (and how to restart her internet modem.)

We caught up with her recently for our Day in the Life series. Here’s what she had to say about life and work heading into the end of 2020:

1.How much coffee do you drink during a day?

Merryman: I drink just one cup, but it’s a giant cup! And don’t expect me to remember anything you tell me until after I’ve had my coffee in the morning.

2. Who is the most important person you talk to every day?

Merryman: We just celebrated our 10th anniversary and marked the milestone with a brand refresh, internal celebrations as well as media relations and social media campaigns. Through that, my awesome team was essential to help develop and drive the efforts – both personally and professionally.
