"As a leader, Mary was meticulous, thoughtful and always open to ideas. As a colleague, on the work we did together in digital content, she came up with original and effective ideas that drove projects and inspired the team. Her experience in both press and digital content gives her unique perspectives and an organised approach to each project. She has a keen eye for what readers and consumers are interested in and writes fantastically to the point.
