Mary Lamb
COO & Social Media Strategist
Mary graduated from Villanova University in 2010, where she studied Communications, specializing in Media Production & minoring in Theatre. She went on to perform professionally in theatre & film for several years in the USA and Canada, before returning to her beloved hometown and combining her skill sets in Communications and the Performing Arts to work as a local radio host. Fun fact: Did you know radio was actually the first social media?! It’s no wonder she ended up at Nala Marketing! While in radio, Mary attended the Confer Radio Talent Institute and became a certified Radio Marketing Professional and was also one of their select few scholarship awardees. Also while working in radio, Mary built her own health & wellness business on the side and did much of it through social media marketing. She has a passion for helping others rise up whether it’s in their health & wellness, or in their place of business. Through her experience as a performer, radio host, & business owner combined with her background in Communications, Mary has seen firsthand the value of social media marketing and as such, jumps at every opportunity for continued education in the field. When you work with Mary, you can bet she’ll be efficient, fun, and be on top of the ever-changing best practices in the social media world.
On days off, Mary enjoys: yoga, songwriting, hiking, & playing with her nieces and nephews.
Mary began her time at Nala Marketing in May of 2021 as SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIST & RESIDENT REEL WIZ and quickly added value to our team.
