About
Mikenzie Rae Melendez
Mikenzie founded Mikenzie Rae Media LLC to fix what most local businesses quietly accept: marketing scattered across a stack of vendors, with no one accountable for the result. Her answer is one team under one roof running the website, the search presence, the social, the ads, and the AI search visibility that now decides how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini describe a business.
That last part is the edge. Through RAEDAR™, the company's own visibility system, she gets clients recommended by the AI engines their customers already trust, not just ranked on a page most people scroll past.
She built the company in Maine. Before marketing she was a college basketball player at Central Maine Community College, where she also earned her business degree, and she runs client work the way she ran a season: prepared, accountable, and measured only by the result. Every Mikenzie Rae Media client works with her directly. The standard never moves: real results, plain language, no upsell.
If you want proof, she will show you exactly how AI describes your business right now, free, in under a minute.
A little more about me
I was born in Concord, Massachusetts and grew up in Saco, Maine. I graduated from Thornton Academy in 2022, where I played basketball all four years.
From there I went to Central Maine Community College, earned a two year business degree, and played college basketball at the same time. Carrying a season, a full course load, and a job at once is where I learned how to run things on a schedule and own the outcome either way.
Now I take what sports and business taught me and put it into one job: marketing that actually moves the needle for local businesses. Real strategy, plain language, and work I am happy to be measured on.
When I am not working I am usually outside, in the gym, or with the people I love. I built Mikenzie Rae Media here in Maine because the businesses in this state raised me, and I want to help them win.
