Mary Ellen Slayter leads new business development and strategy at Rep Cap. Before launching the agency in 2011, she served as director of content development at SmartBrief, as a columnist and financial editor at The Washington Post, and as a late-night server at Louie’s Cafe, where she learned the fine art of getting drunk LSU frat boys to pay their bill.
She studied agronomy at Louisiana State University and journalism at University of Maryland. She still can’t resist asking strangers about their first job. Today she finds plenty of opportunities to do that as her agency leads content strategy and creation for top B2B brands.
