BetterWorld Partners
Field Guide was the right partner at the right time! We needed a team to help us make sense of where we wanted to go, identify current practices and language that support our future growth, and develop new ways of thinking and working to meet our organization's goals. There is no comfort in the growth zone, and it is much easier to hang out in discomfort when we have partners like Field Guide who get us and have the right guidance, advice, and know-how at the right time. We are grateful and excited to keep learning, working, and growing!

Mary goes fully out of her way to take care of others, and brings people together for all the right reasons, and an ally who never fears getting into good trouble. If the whole wide world was like Mary we would not have any trouble to worry about.

Patisserie 46 and Rose Street Patisserie
Mary has a tremendous ability to enable thoughts to become words. Many times, I find it very difficult to talk about subjects that we have a passion for and think that the guest will understand. Mary understands and can make it a reality in words. She has been a wonderful sounding board for years, and I love working with her.

AOT (an opera theater)
I really can't say it enough, thank you again for all the tremendous support of AOT and DIVAS & DRAG! Sold-out shows, amazing interviews, fantastic coverage and we could not have achieved all that without your true belief in this event and your work ethic. On behalf of AOT and all our artists involved in D&D, thank you so so much! I look forward to future collaborations with you all. Endless thanks!

bakehouse
When we started embarking on developing a new brand after nearly 10 years in business as Honey & Rye, Mary & team were instrumental. From the very beginning of brand development - whiteboard naming sessions, developing our voice & personality, reining us in when we got in the weeds - to website copy, a brand guide, all the way through to media strategy as we prepared to open our doors. Field Guide was with us at every step as an invaluable resource & cheerleader. They adapted as our needs changed & continue to do so. Being a part of the Field Guide family means they believe in your brand, including the people & vision behind it. The impact has been greater awareness in the community and in the press and has allowed us to more easily share the exciting things we are doing with a wider audience.

Patisserie 46 and Rose Street Patisserie
From the opening of every new location to each award and accolade, Mary and team have walked down the path with us. They have carefully and meticulously helped us navigate each turn. The level of understanding they have shown our companies, trade and teams has been outstanding. With brand development, website makeovers, coaching team leads for press training, social media campaigns (the list truly can run on) Field Guide has been an invaluable asset to us.

Urban Roots MN
Mary and the Field Guide team possess a keen ability to work across all platforms, connecting Urban Roots to an interesting and inclusive group of ambassadors—chefs, journalists, and entrepreneurs alike—all in support of our multi-faceted programming in conservation, urban agriculture, and the food world. Field Guide had just the right mix of creativity, savvy, connectivity, and commitment to our mission to cultivate and empower youth through connections to nature, healthy food, and community through paid internships and opportunities that they might not otherwise encounter. We worked collaboratively with Field Guide over several years to successfully grow our audience, enabling us to develop campaigns, generate media attention in ways that propelled us into new territory, and—most importantly—make a solid and lasting impact.
