Testimonials

Maria has worked with us on a number of marketing challenges over the years, and throughout that time she has repeatedly proven her mastery over the skill of listening. Maria is never too quick to speak, instead taking all available information on board before expresing an opinion or offering guidance. Maria’s approach to consultation is calm, considered and demonstrates a deep level of understanding that she can apply to new circumstances in a way that, above all, makes sense. If you’re looking for a consultant that will overwhelm any and all opposition through abrasion and callousness, Maria is likely not the person for you. If, however, you want a professional that will gain a deeper understanding of you, your business and your customers before providing sound guidance, then look no further.
