From a single idea to a global communications force

Mary is a communications expert with a professional PR & GR background, holding both a bachelor's and master's degree in journalism. She previously worked at Drofa Comms, a top financial London-based PR agency, before deciding to take her own path and founding CryptoColumnist.

Mary founded CryptoColumnist in 2021 — a scrappy PR agency laser-focused on organic promotion for blockchain projects. What started as a one-woman mission quickly evolved into INPUT, a full-service communications agency serving tier-1 clients like Tron, Ledger, Tether, and Bitget.

Today, INPUT Global operates across 15 countries with 35 team members, delivering strategic media coverage, influencer campaigns, personal branding, and world-class events.

Mary is currently based in Paris, previously lived in 3 countries and speaks 3 languages.
