Oh my goodness, fantastic Mariska. If ever you have any doubts you shouldn’t be doing this, this is a good reason why you should be.  Fantastic. Keep it up. Awesome work.

Her copy is clear, meticulously researched, easy to read and (most importantly) is entertaining

Mariska responded to my plea for writers to help with a ma-hoo-sive client blogging project. And I’m so pleased she got in touch.

Sub-contracting work to someone for the first time can always be a bit bum-squeaky, but I neededn’t have worried. Mariska took the briefs I gave her and delivered top-drawer first drafts.

Her copy is clear, meticulously researched, easy to read and (most importantly) is entertaining. Mariska clearly knows how to puts the reader’s needs first. Thanks for being such a cracking copywriter, MT!

All I can say is, WOW.  Hugely impactful

I recently heard Mariska speak at CopyCon 2022 – and all I can say is, WOW.
Although the presentation was short, there’s no doubt it was hugely impactful, and certainly one of the presentations I remember most vividly. Her openness, vulnerability, and wisdom touched everyone. Her ability to draw learnings from some of life’s hardest tragedies, and her courage to share those learnings with us, impressed me hugely.
Her words were clear, thoughtful, and best of all – human. She’s the kind of person anyone would be lucky to have as a speaker.
