Aussie creatives launch ‘Hail Mary & Friends’ to give agencies globally the ideas they’ve been praying for
With careers spanning more than two decades and two continents, Hail Mary & Friends aims to bring that experience to markets worldwide to solve creative challenges overnight.
Says Scot ‘Mary’ van den Driesen: “After working for close to a decade in the US, with a year and a half of that remote from Melbourne, it made me realise that when it comes to creativity, distance can be less a tyranny and more an asset.
“Time differences mean we’re uniquely positioned here to solve creative challenges for Northern Hemisphere agencies and clients overnight. Put that together with a favourable exchange rate and throwing a hail mary to us is anything but a hope and a prayer.
“And closer to home, our experience means we’re ideally placed to offer up new ideas and perspectives when teams are running out of steam, and agencies are running out of time and resources.
“All I needed was to gather the right group of people. Seasoned creatives who have cut their teeth both here and abroad. I’m lucky to have already welcomed such people as friends, and hope to welcome many more.”

Great idea. Applause. Smart.
But I hope they don’t offer web design as a service – their site is very difficult to read.
Amen to this. Excited for you Mary van den Driesen.
