The story03 / 06
From cold pitches to weekly inbounds.
The struggle01
She was cold pitching on top of nursing full time.
Mercedesbefore AHA
"I was doing a lot of cold pitches."
Before AHA she had maybe one or two inbounds, so most of the time she had outside of nursing went to pitching brands herself.
Where she started02
She was great on camera, but the videos were not converting.
- Her pacing, visuals and edits were not supporting the message.
- Her storytelling felt disjointed.
- Her strong on-camera presence was not translating into content that converted.
- Her average rate was $250 to $300 a deal.
The hard part03
With a nursing job, every minute had to count.
Mercedesduring AHA
"You can really do anything and make time for everything else at the same time. You just have to allow space for proper organization."
She built a workflow around high-impact content, kept up her personal brand without burning out, and averaged a 3 to 7 day turnaround while working in healthcare.
What we did together04
We blended her nursing background into her brand.
- Tighter scripting, editing, delivery and narrative structure, with stronger hooks and sharper edits.
- Direct response editing, paid media frameworks and training AI to speak in her voice.
- Scripts that sound like her, less robotic and less transactional.
- A personal brand on X and Instagram, which became the source of all her current inbounds.
- Her average rate went up to $500+ a deal.

In her words06 / 06
In Mercedes’s own words.
"The results will shock you."
Absolutely would do AHA all over again or extend it if I could! Mehr is brilliantly smart and visibly passionate not only about creative strategy and UGC creation, but teaching others how to excel in this space! She truly embodies the #ugccommunity and incorporates best practices all around. She has the ability to use your learning style and meet you where you are to help expedite what success looks like for you. I love that I got to be a student of hers in Wave 3 and highly recommend her as a mentor, community member, and now friend!
