"Working with you today was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about the different opportunities that are available for reaching my community to procure more work, and it's given me the actual steps I need to take instead of just the random information that you normally find out there. And I want to thank you so much for that."

"I've done a lot of presentations and Mary has been there the entire time and given me terrific advice on how to present my brand. When I look at what Mary does in terms of really trying to get you to think both in terms of the questions that she asks, but also in getting you to ask the right questions with the experiences she's got, she's just invaluable."

"We're a small not for profit community development corporation in South Saint Louis City. We needed to get our message out, and Mary was a perfect fit. Mary brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the table, in addition to how professional she is with her equipment, set up and preparation. She gave us everything she had to create the most important video we've ever had."

"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."
