Biography
About Me
I am a Marketing Professional with 17 years of experience in both B2B and B2C companies for the pharmaceutical, life sciences, FinTech, wholesale, manufacturing, construction, packaging, geotechnical, and banking industries. I have built highly integrated, content focused marketing programs from the ground up which required exceptional strategic planning, communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
I am passionate about functional design that yields effective results. Outside of work I enjoy spending time attending performing arts events, visiting art galleries and museums, and enjoying the Rocky Mountains. As an urban resident for many years, I am truly fascinated by the development of new architecture in cities. In the past I was a volunteer Chairperson for Denver's Ballpark Neighborhood Association's PR committee.
I look forward to developing a successful marketing program and team for your business.

Mary Burk has the rare talent of taking a small amount of information and direction to attain the desired results. Her creativity and passion for her work is contagious and she is an exemplary team member, and a key contributor in the sales and marketing effort.

Mary is able to grasp intricate concepts and use her communication skills to work with others in developing marketing strategies.
Frank Kiesecker
Senior VP Sales & Marketing, ACH Foam Technologies
We hired Mary to help us on an interim basis to be my B2B staff marketer with a focus on managing our complex new product graphics and technical documents creation process. This included making numerous high quality product labels and supporting technical sales sheets in very short time.
We also needed help writing social media posts for LinkedIn.
We operate as a fast-paced, start-up, minded company and culture and Mary dove straight into the assignment and our culture and committed to learning our complex product line and our fairly complex documentation management process quickly. She brought her A game and that included her personality and attitude.
I mention her positive attitude because as a smaller company, fit with culture is important, even for short term projects. Mary was a joy to work with in this regard.
Mary was also not above or afraid to learn the specifics of how we like to do things – including a unique blend of technology and software.
While we were her client, Mary helped bridge a huge gap for us and we’re glad she agreed to help. I wholeheartedly endorse Mary to other clients considering outsourcing or temp staffing for their Marketing needs.

Mary and I both served in the past on the Board of Directors for the Ballpark Neighborhood Association. I consider Mary to be one of the most studious and responsible members of the organization.
Mary is a dedicated member of the Denver Area community and donated countless hours of her time to the BPNA. She has not only worked with members of the community she also helped to implement plans and programs that will enrich the lives of those around her.
Mary’s leadership and organizational skills were invaluable to the BPNA’s community programs, most of which were started from the ground up. The BPNA Community Public Relations Program, Redesign and branding of the Association’s website and the BPNA Security Summit are all fine examples of of Mary’s strong work ethic and dedication to the success of the organization.
