Meet Your Agency Partner: Troy Merkle

What’s your favorite part about working in social media?

Meeting new people. I love hearing their stories and what they’ve experienced. 

What are three words you would use to describe yourself?

Family oriented, outgoing and energetic.

What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

I’ve been in a helicopter, but I’ve never been in one while it landed — I repelled out of it before it landed. 

What’s something that you’ve learned in your career that’s inspired you to keep moving forward?

People motivate me. I can get more done by investing my time into my team and making sure their needs are taken care of. Providing a description of the goal, the time to complete it, and (possibly the most important) the reason for accomplishing it, I am far more likely to succeed. 

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

I recently started recording and editing youtube videos for my family. I’ve been using it as a modern approach to a photo album. 

What’s your secret passion?

I am a youtube aficionado. I love doing random projects around the house (building shelves, renovations, playground equipment….), working on my car, and recipes for my smoker. I’ve learned it all from Youtube.

What’s your 2024 New Year’s resolution?

I love a sugary midnight snack… and I need to not. Ice Cream always sounds so good in the middle of the night though.
