Meg Ried
Executing public relations and public education campaigns are the focal points of Meg Ried's position at DNA, along with general account assistance, media buying, research, account and event planning, and "maintaining relationships by being a friendly voice on the other end of the phone," she says.

A native of Chicago, Meg came to South Carolina to attend Clemson, and grew to love living in the South's milder climate. She graduated with a B.A. in Communications Studies and served several marketing internships before joining DNA. Last year, she won a SCPRSA merit award for public service for her work on ReWa's" Project Rx: A River Remedy."

Meg prides herself on being a "doer." "All my strategies have specific purposes behind them that contribute to the overall goal. I pay close attention to the little details that matter in projects and work to find the gaps and fill them in," she says.

She considers being a team player and "having a cheery, positive attitude" to be among her biggest job assets. "I would also say that I am a true optimist, in that I usually can find the positive in every situation and learn something from it. " A member of the Junior League and the Meals on Wheels Leadership Council, Meg enjoys volunteering and traveling to visit her family, who are spread out around the country.
