Mel Carson joins Majestic Team

By Dixon Jones |

Majestic are delighted to announce that Mel Carson, former Microsoft evangelist and now founder of Delightful Communications, will be joining Majestic as “Ambassador Extraordinaire”.

For seven years, Mel helped Microsoft bring several products to market – from adCenter to Bing.com – keeping the brands human and approachable by taking on the evangelist role so important to companies in the digital and social age. Mel walks the corridors of the Search and Internet world and is known not only for his work at Microsoft, but also for his powerful presentation skills and his video interviews with famous digital pioneers. If you would like Mel to present at your conference, we would be delighted to facilitate this for you here at Majestic.

Mel is an English gentleman abroad. Based in Seattle, Mel will be (believe it or not) Majestic’s FIRST ongoing representative on the ground in the US.

Until now, our ambassadors – Brian Bowers and Chris Carter – have been fantastic ambassadors in the US for Majestic, but they have also had full time roles within the banking industry. Luckily – we still have them and I hope you will be seeing both at more conferences and events around the USA in the coming months. In the meantime, Mel gives us a powerful new resource and gives our customers a great point of contact over in the US.
