October Learning Lab is a digital communications education and training company.

We build certification programs, facilitated learning experiences, and governance advisory for organizations whose communicators work under public scrutiny and regulatory constraint.

Our Founder

Sabrina Merritt

SCORE was codified from more than a decade of hands-on government digital communications execution by Sabrina Merritt, October Learning Lab's founder and principal. Sabrina has spent ten years leading digital communications, governance, and education for public-sector, mission led and regulated organizations — first as the founder of a digital agency serving government and regulated industries, and now as the architect of the SCORE™ Method.

That decade inside the approval chains, strategic communications and accountability realities of regulated communication is the foundation SCORE™ is built on; a curriculum and education framework written from practice, not theory.

Over the course of her career, Sabrina has worked with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the Georgia Department of Transportation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, Emory University, Spelman College, Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs, Episcopal Relief & Development, International Youth Foundation, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Nashville Health, Jackson and Coker and more.
