We had the good fortune of connecting with Marcus Merritt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marcus, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I really wanted to be able to control my own destiny moving forward. In today’s world especially with the pandemic, having the option to make your own money on your own terms is so important

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started my Marketing company 3 years ago because I felt the need to share my knowledge and success I’ve had with other people. I think back to when I was a child and I’ve always wanted to have something of my own like this. I’ve never liked working for other people and I feel so proud to be the first in my family to start a business.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Atlanta is great for visiting! Definitely a trip to Ponce City Market is on the list. If it’s their first time here the world of coke is a must too. We also have great restaurants so maybe six feet under, the vortex, two urban licks just to name a few and you can’t go wrong hitting up a good hookah bar with some bomb lemon pepper wings The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would definitely like to shout out my business partner Nicole Hunter. She has definitely been a rock for me over the last two years joining together to do real estate deals but also being a good sound board when I need business advice
