"Mary Scott was an enormous help to us for a recent production of Michael Bartlett's play King Charles the Third, which was a local premiere. She was instrumental in creating a very concise video promotion going from the idea to the finished project, I think was less than a week and really was exactly what we needed."

"I met with Mary Scott as a networking colleague for a half an hour and I was blown away. She's an idea person, without a doubt, and she can see business opportunities and niches where other people may or may not be able to. She's a very creative person, so I highly recommend that you speak to her about your business."
