consulting

Mary brings three specific areas of market intelligence to consulting: a developmental framework, marketplace expertise and a practical perspective.

As she explains, "I'm a hybrid. I bring knowledge of child development, personal parenting experience and a successful track record in publishing and children's entertainment. Because I've worked in a variety of arenas, I draw from a deep reservoir of cross-category ideas, concepts and connections."

Mary consults on-site or by phone, with a fee structure designed to fit specific tasks. Companies can choose to work on a retainer or project basis.
