There are PRs who send out press releases, PRs who talk a great game but fail to deliver, and then there’s Maria Boyle. I have been dealing with her for several years and her approaches with stories are always focussed and targeted with the audience in mind. She is fun, tenacious and, quite simply, one of the best.

Editor-in-Chief, Luxury, The Daily Telegraph
I’ve been working with Maria for years on any number of different stories and she’s always incredibly fast and responsive, buzzing with ideas, and delivers on what she promises.

Editor, You Magazine
A legendary newspaper editor once told me: “Any old fool can come up with a good idea – it’s making it happen that counts”. Maria makes it happen. What more could you want?

Maria has always impressed me with her diligent, well-researched and creative approach to her clients. She can always be relied upon for understanding what I, as a journalist, need and what’s more, she is a pleasure to work with!
Lucy Cleland
Editorial Director, Country & Townhouse
Maria has organised some of the most impressive PR events I’ve been to. She’s no-nonsense, down-to-earth, kind, smart and funny. It’s a pleasure to work with her. She is also one of the most connected PRs I know. A delight to work with.
Jessica Diamond
Watch and Jewellery Editor, Conde Nast Traveller & Sunday Times Style
Maria Boyle is easily one of my favourite PRs. I’ve known her for several years, and dealing with her is always a joy – not only because she is straight forward and knowledgeable with infectious levels of energy, but because she generates and suggests ideas to me that are tailored specifically to the titles I work on. Amazingly hardly anyone else does this – which makes her an asset that shouldn’t be underestimated.
Alison Phillips
Writer and former Editor, Daily Mirror
I have always found Maria and MB Communications an absolute delight to work with. Maria is the most organised, efficient, creative – and above all cheerful – people I’ve had the pleasure to work with who is able to find a solution to any problem. She is very well regarded by all the editors I know which is rare in the PR world.
Caroline Barrett
Executive Editor, Lifestyle, The Telegraph
It might sound like a cliché, but Maria is a dream to work with. She is one of those rare PRs who is able to deliver exactly what her clients need, but also knows what works for the publication – without any drama, but always with good humour. She’s one of the best in the industry.
Helen Barrett
FT Wealth contributor, Financial Times
Unlike many PRs, Maria has a very clear understanding of what we write and why we write it. Her suggestions are always well considered and intelligent, and she’s good fun into the bargain.
Louise Robinson
Editorial Director, Saga Magazine
Maria is a master of PR and an absolute pleasure to work with. I always want to go to anything she’s organised because I know I will have a great time.
Lorraine Kelly
Presenter
Maria is the Mary Portas of the PR world.
Kay Burley
Former newsreader, Presenter and Journalist, Sky News
Smart, sassy, quick and to the point – that’s what Maria delivers. Creative and extremely hard-working with a good sense of humour, she is a journalist’s dream PR.
Amanda Cable
Metro
Maria is persuasive, realistic and charming. I have tremendous respect for her because she has the rather rare ability to think laterally at all times. If I’ve ever rejected an idea, she’s come back immediately with a plan b, c, or d. She thinks on her feet, but then puts plans straight into motion. I know, for example, that we can close a deal and I can concentrate on my stories while Maria does everything – and more – that she’s promised. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her, because she gets results and that is all that matters in her business, and ours. I spend my life avoiding calls from PRs. I pick up the phone to Maria immediately. That probably says it all!
Sinead McIntyre
Editor in Chief, Fabulous Brand, Sun on Sunday
Maria is one of the best PRs in the business. She is a joy to deal with, really helpful, no nonsense, funny and, as well as delivering top PR for her clients, she also pulls off some of the best and most interesting events I have had the pleasure of being invited to.
