Founded by Mari Tzikas Suarez, Marigold Media specializes creative copywriting and concepting for online, print, and digital lifestyle brands.

Always a creative type, Mari received her bachelor’s degree in journalism from New York University, where she landed editorial internships at Assouline, a luxury publisher,  Women’s Wear Daily, Elegant Bride, and CITY magazine. After moving to San Francisco, she became one of the founding editors at Glam.com—then a start-up fashion editorial website.

After launching Glam’s first-ever beauty channel, she spent five years as a beauty editor for Sephora. In addition to trying nearly every product known to womankind, she wrote and edited email campaigns, store windows for all of North America, print ads, catalogs, and the re-launch of sephora.com.

But when her desk—and bathroom—drawers started overflowing with beauty products, she decided to trade the perks of being a beauty editor for the perks of being her own boss and launched Marigold Media in 2011.
