Maria Crema

Account Director

  • Over 15 years working across consumer tech, B2B, and not-for-profit PR
  • Bachelor in Communications (PR), sub-majoring in Marketing
  • My fave movie is the Sound of Music. Singing, kids, a love story, sacrifice and escape – what more could you want?!?
  • I’m married to a Star Wars fan, so I often pull out Yoda sayings to the kids like ‘Do or do not, there is no try.’
  • I’m terrible at telling jokes, just can’t nail the punchline…I don’t take myself too seriously
  • I like to think of myself as a ‘giver’. This especially goes for clients…I go to every effort to deliver for them, and their business.
