TESTIMONIALS
Thank you for your trust!
Extraordinary expertise & experience
From our first call Maria was a veritable fountain of expertise. I’ve rarely met someone so genuinely generous who also has such extraordinary expertise and experience. She provided, in one hour, more useful insights than I’ve ever experienced in a single call.
Her instructions were clear. Her timelines were clear and consistent. She and her team were flexible and reasonable and generous at every single step. I have never met a marketing company that killed it on value, expertise, AND being great to work with. Maria and the team do in every single category every single time.
I HIGHLY recommend them.

Exceptional workshop
With genuine passion, Maria’s exceptional workshop on Personal Branding and Influence wasn’t just a lesson; it was a living demonstration.
She drew admiration for forging genuine connections with a diverse audience, proving through her own example that personal values are the foundation of a strong brand.
She didn’t just teach the crucial truth—she embodied it: a personal brand’s essence lies in the impact we create, not the influence we receive.

You can’t afford not to work with them
If there was a “Genie” for speakers and consultants, its bottle would say MSC Bureau.
These guys are ridiculously good at what they do and at the same time, the most kind and generous people you will ever meet.
If you are a speaker, a consultant or anyone who wants to build a brand out of yourself, you can’t afford not to work with them.

If you ever have the chance to work with her, grab it!
Maria isn’t just a speaker manager; she’s a career magician, personal mentor, and, on occasion, a spontaneous therapist all rolled into one.
With her guidance, my professional journey was not just about grabbing the mic, but also about growth, laughter, and some truly unforgettable backstage pep talks.
If you ever have the chance to work with her, grab it – and keep an eye on her, this woman’s entrepreneurial spirit and eye for opportunities knows no limits!

Keep up the amazing work
One of the most refreshing feelings to experience, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty, is the one of pure kindness. Met Maria Papacosta not a long time ago remotely through our network.
She has been surprising me ever since with her kindness and generosity which are way over and above from what her professional role includes.
Maria, people like you are blessed with the gift of energizing everyone around them and spreading inspiration. Keep up the amazing work!

Highest recommendation
I hired Maria Papacosta at MSC Bureau to advise me on book writing, branding, marketing, presence, and strategic positioning. I also enrolled in her two-day Fast Track Strategy Session. I absolutely loved it!
Maria carefully read my manuscript and delivered precise, actionable feedback on structure, style, flow, and messaging—always linking tactics to the principles behind them. I left with immediate clarity on how to revise the book to enhance impact.
She also performed a rigorous, evidence-based diagnostic of my marketing initiatives, website, and social presence, then laid out a step-by-step pull strategy. I now understand how to rise above the noise.
Maria’s approach is blunt, no-nonsense, and deeply caring. She challenged assumptions while championing my vision. She inspired me to be myself and focus on what moves the needle.
Highest recommendation. Thank you Maria!

An invaluable resource
Maria is an invaluable resource, part guide, part therapist, part planner. She helped me come up with a coherent plan to market my book and speaking and consulting work, and I’m already seeing incredible results. She goes deep to figure out your true value proposition and explain it in a clear way. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
