Bio
Martin Leong
I had the pleasure to meet Mary and her team when I was looking for a strategic agency to help me with the thought and execution for a multi-brand business. This was whilst I was working for a private equity backed business, so the focus on accelerated delivery was vital. What I found in Mary was a truly strategic partner, one that could challenge my thinking, stimulate fresh, customer driven insights and implement at pace in a practical manner. I would absolutely employ her services again based on both the results delivered and the manner executed. A pleasure to work with, thank you.

Wish I'd worked for longer with Mary - her insight, analysis and uncanny knack of getting straight to the heart of a problem or opportunity were all so very invigorating. I always looked forward to any meeting that involved Mary, both because she was lots of fun but also because I was always guaranteed to learn something cool. I use a lot of what Mary taught me in my consultancy today.
