About Us

“Who promised you fair?” was a frequent quip of my high school civics teacher. I answered in 2002 when I formed Fair Share Consulting: I do. Since starting this communications practice, I strive to uncover and amplify what is true and earned by clients with honesty and fairness. The approach remains simple: Seek great clients. Trust smart partners. Do meaningful work. And enjoy the ride.

I’m Melanie Engerski, founder and principal of Fair Share Consulting, Inc., based in Ausitn, Texas. Before this, I was a partner and senior vice president at Fleishman Hillard in St. Louis, Singapore and Austin. I began my career in the fighter aircraft and missile systems units of what is now The Boeing Company after graduating from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. Since then, I’ve worn many hats, including those as a board member of the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) Austin-San Antonio chapter, award-winning president of the Austin NIRI Chapter, a member of the Securities Transfer Association and an active supporter of the hushed, the hungry and the homeless.

What Clients are Saying

  • “I have worked with Melanie across four companies over nearly two decades, and she has consistently been one of my most trusted strategic partners. She combines exceptional writing talent with strong business judgment, asking thoughtful questions, uncovering what matters most, and bringing clarity and creativity to complex assignments. I have relied on her for high-profile, high-stakes work because she understands the objective, challenges the thinking when appropriate, and consistently elevates the final product. Melanie is more than a talented writer; she is a trusted advisor who brings strategic perspective, sound counsel, and an unwavering commitment to quality. She is also a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.”

  • “Working with Mel was a game changer! She could come into a situation completely cold, rapidly understand the context, and transform complex ideas into communications that were clear, impactful and easy for audiences to understand. Her deep knowledge of our business and how we communicate made her an exceptional thought partner.”

    Katie OConor
    Avanade CFO

  • “I’ve worked with Mel Engerski on a wide range of projects over the years, and she’s much more than a great writer—she’s a true creative collaborator. She asks the right questions, quickly gets to the heart of a project, and has a real talent for shaping complex information into a clear, engaging narrative. This was especially true on our six-part History of Long Island series for Molloy University, where Mel helped us turn an enormous amount of historical research and source material into a compelling story. She’s creative, collaborative, dependable, and someone I always enjoy working with.”
