I am one of you.

I know what it’s like to collaborate over a folding table. I know what it’s like to show up early and leave late. I have found many alternative uses for gaff tape. I have celebrated my birthday in a rehearsal room.

I know what it’s like to bring to life the magic that is live theatre.
So I also know that that magic comes at a cost - your time, your budget, your sanity. My primary goal is to help you make that magic. The work you do is too important and too time consuming for you to also have to worry about marketing the show.

Hi, I’m Mary M. Thames.

I started Thames Royal Media to provide high quality digital marketing services to arts, culture, and nonprofit organizations that lack the tools, time, and budget to hire a full-time marketing staff member.

I hold a bachelor’s in theatre (focus on directing) from University of North Texas and a master’s in arts administration with a certificate in performing arts enterprise from Boston University. I’m an arts gal through and through - outside of the theatre I am also a creative writer, an artist, and a musician (flute, piccolo, guitar, ukulele).

My decade of marketing experience is unique and varied - from creating and producing VBS advertisements for a midsize church when I was in college to single handedly marketing almost every production I have directed. Each of my creative pursuits has given me an experience that benefits my clients. I would be honored to play the role of your marketer. You deserve the royal treatment.

  • "When I was just starting out at the very beginning of my music career, I didn’t want to have to worry about how I was going to market. I wanted to focus all my energy on the music and thanks to Mary I was able to do just that."

    - Madison Pais, Musician

  • "She was organized from the beginning and efficiently communicated everything. I now send all my clients who need social media assistance to Mary because I know she will give them the royal treatment."

    - Taylor Donaldson, CEO of Taylord Marketing & Management

  • "Thames Royal’s professionalism, creativity, and work ethic is unparalleled, and we can’t recommended them enough. Working with Thames Royal was seamless and gave us peace of mind."

    - Jared Sippel, Co-Founder of Storytime

  • "I am just a random person who happened to be following The Tempest production. I wanted to say the artwork for the show was evocative, informative, and beautiful... Perfect for such an unusual show. Congratulations."
