Rebecca Best - Senior Media Strategist M3Agency

The last name really says it all. Rebecca joined the M3 team in 2022 as a Senior Media Strategist after a merger with her own marketing company – Emineo Marketing. With nearly two decades of experience in marketing, Rebecca is in a league of her own when it comes to strategizing and growing businesses. It’s been said on more than one occasion, “if you want something done, ask Rebecca!” She’s just that driven, efficient, and passionate. Not convinced? She started kindergarten at age 4, high school at 13, and college at 17. Aside from being a marketing strategenius (yes, we made that word up just for her), she loves connecting with people and building relationships by helping them reach their goals. Rebecca thrives on utilizing the most strategic marketing tools and executing creative, innovative campaigns to help businesses stand out from the crowd. 

Rebecca holds Bachelor and Master’s degrees from Augusta University and has been the recipient of several community awards. In her free time, you can find her spending time with husband, Adam, their daughter, Mia, and their fur baby, Jackson. She also loves watching sports, soaking up the outdoors or traveling.
