The heart and soul behind Whisker Media

Call – (612) 209-3303 or Email – mary@whiskermedia.com

In 2013, Mary embarked on this adventure as a hobby, initially focused on video production for businesses and nonprofits. However, her passion for storytelling and a deep love for animals led to a pivot towards public relations in the pet space. As a former news reporter for local and national media outlets across the United States and PR Manager for one of the largest animal shelters in the country, Mary saw a connection between the complex world of animal welfare and the busy world of PR and marketing. 

When not working, Mary devotes much of her free time to animals. She lives in the Minneapolis area with her Mexican rescue dog Freddie, and her three cats Farley, Franklin, and Fleur. Mary also fosters neonatal kittens and volunteers at a low cost veterinary clinic, Her cat Franklin is an adventure feline, professional pet model as well as a therapy kitty, who visits children and seniors who need animal assisted therapy.

Mary Tan is not just the founder of Whisker Media, but the driving force behind a mission to create impactful stories that resonate and make a positive difference in the ever-evolving pet industry.
