Mariann Hardey is both totally committed and immensely professional in all that she does. She inspires and connects with whomever she works. Mariann delivers creative practical solutions based on her sound understanding of the bigger picture and fortifies this with experiences sourced from her nurtured networks.I look forward to working with Dr Hardey again.

If you have spent only a minute with her you'll know exactly what I mean - if you have yet to have the pleasure of working with her do whatever it takes to make it happen.
"I have recently met Mariann when we worked together on a research workshop. As a result we are planning further joint work. She is a great communicator, does what she says and I admire her ability to bring order to the realm of the disorderly. 'Like' doesn't do justice, Facebook needs more superlatives. Mariann - a Facebook superlative!!" Ted

I first worked with Mariann when she spoke in a session I organised at 2gether08, a festival of ideas in East London. We share an interest in and passion for understanding how social behaviour is affected by social media and online social networking.
As a practitioner I am usually wary of academic attempts to study such a newly-formed discipline, but I have found Mariann to explore her subject with maturity and sensitivity as well as an infectious sense of fun.
She is as bright as a button and manages to bring a consistently light spirit to her work, while maintaining serious academic rigour. Mariann will always make you think.
Quite simply, if a tree falls in the Facebook then Dr Mariann will know about it. Her expertise in the field of Social Media is internationally reknowned, her consultancy returns immediate benefit to clients, she is marvellous to work with and her refined style permeates every aspect of her work. I can easily recommend Mariann to any organisation looking to bridge social divides through technology.
