Mary Harrington
Music-industry marketer by trade. Nintendo Switch gremlin by calling. Currently locked in mortal, polite combat with 33,335 unread emails and winning, slowly, one heroic archive at a time.
Marketing, but make it music
I make people care about songs they haven't heard yet. Streams, launches, fan-army logistics - if it gets a record from 'finished' to 'everywhere,' I've probably had a spreadsheet open about it.
Marketing Lead · Independent music projects
Launch campaigns, fan strategy, and the art of making a release feel like an event instead of a notification.
Digital & Streaming Marketing · Label / artist services
Playlists, pre-saves, socials, and turning 'I guess I'll listen later' into 'this is on repeat.'
Campaign & Community · Earlier chapters
Built fan communities that actually show up - the kind that crush a ticket on-sale in ninety seconds.
The Switch situation
Handheld mode on the couch. Docked mode for the big fights. Tabletop mode at brunch when nobody's watching. My JoyCons have seen things.
Mario Kart
Blue shell apologist. I will take the inside line and I will not be sorry.
Animal Crossing
My island has better hours than my actual inbox.
Zelda
Found 40 koroks, 0 fast-travel discipline. Worth it.
Smash Bros
Mains the character nobody respects. Wins anyway.
Current main quest: finally beating that one boss without rage-shutting off the console. We do not say the other word in this house.
Operation: Crush 33,335 Unread Emails
A live, completely real, definitely-not-staged look at the most important number in my life. Every refresh, I have heroically crushed a few more. Progress is progress.
You've helped me crush 0 this visit. Hero behavior.
The language policy
Important workplace and life rule. Please update your records accordingly.
the k-word
We don't do violence to bugs, processes, time, or vibes. It's just not the energy.
"crush" or "shut off"
Crush the deadline. Crush the inbox. Shut off the console. Same determination, zero collateral damage.
Certified kooky facts
I have 33,335 unread emails and a frankly heroic sense of optimism about it.
I will redesign your whole marketing funnel mid-conversation if you let me.
My phone's most-used widget is the Switch battery, not the weather.
I once crushed a 6am on-sale, a campaign deadline, and a final boss in the same day. Iconic.
Ask me to 'shut it off,' never the other thing. House rules.
Say hi (it'll be unread for a bit, lovingly)
I will absolutely read your message. Eventually. It joins a very prestigious queue of 33,335. But the good ones jump the line.
