Testimonials from LinkedIn
“Marcy is the kind of editor every writer dreams of having. She is smart, organized, and understands exactly what she wants. She is also generous with her praise and her time, something that you'd be hard-pressed to find in many editors these days. I really enjoyed the time we worked together.”
— Ilyce Glink, CEO, Best Money Moves, Keynote Speaker, Journalist, Author, Marketer
I was fortunate to enjoy the privilege of working with Marcy Tolkoff for several years when she was an editor at Woman’s World Magazine. While I have worked with many editors in 35 years of writing, Marcy was especially effective and conscientious. She was always professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She consistently offered savvy insights and valuable suggestions for the writing projects on which I was assigned. She went the extra mile in providing editing suggestions and even went so far as to suggest additional projects for me to consider pursuing in the future. She was always prompt in returning my calls, and was consistently patient and willing to take the time to hear my concerns and offer her ideas. I always felt she was truly interested in helping me and in contributing to the success of the magazine in the most effective way possible.

I've been fortunate to work with Marcy for the past few years at UBS. Marcy is an extremely talented editor and writer, as well as a valued colleague. Marcy has a great ability to take a complex topic and write in an impactful way that resonates with our clients. She produces high-quality work under extremely tight timeframes. I would highly recommend Marcy for any editorial or writing work within the financial services industry.

“Marcy is without a doubt the best and fastest writer I have ever worked with throughout my career. Marcy is creative, detailed and deadline driven. Her investment expertise, knowledge, diligence has increased the success of the Asset Management team.”
— Selene George, Head of Wealth Advisory Marketing
Marcy was a fantastic editor who constantly came up with interesting story ideas and managed to keep all of the stories moving and closing on time and with accuracy every week under tremendous time, deadline and space pressures. She was also fun to work with and was open to my story suggestions and editorial changes. She is a great writer and editor on any financial topic!
— Jordan Goodman, America's Money Answers Man at Jordan Goodman Financial Communications
Marcy is one of the few people that I've met in my 30-year career that brings a combination of superior writing skills, knowledge of the markets, an understanding of the advisor and client, a head for independent research and a record of meeting tight deadlines. If you're lucky, you might get someone with two of those attributes. If you find someone with all of them, then you're probably already talking to Marcy.
— Peter Mastrantuono, Freelance Writer
Marcy is an extremely talented writer and editor. Her dedication, attention to detail and strong work ethic help her rise to any challenge thrown her way. She is highly regarded and when we worked together at UBS she was the “go-to” writer/editor for the high profile and demanding projects with tight deadlines. She is a pleasure to work with and a proactive team player.
— Kelly Young, Managing Director, Senior Business Communications Strategist at State Street
I work with Marcy in marketing supporting UBS Wealth Management Research. She is a dedicated and meticulous editor for all of our marketing communications and collateral. She also leads the effort in editing and routing many cross-product marketing materials including FA and client collateral specific to our Thought Leadership platform. Marcy is also the sole writer/editor for one of our most popular research-driven marketing pieces for clients. Although I don't manage her directly, she is willing to go the extra mile to complete projects in a timely and effective manner. She definitely excels at what she does.
— Omar Archer, MBA, Vice President at Morgan Stanley
I'll echo the words of Peter Mastrantuono in his recommendation for Marcy, but I'll do it from the other side of the experience spectrum. I joined UBS as a freelance writer in '10, and Marcy was my office mate. I'm an experienced copywriter, but starting out at UBS, I knew just enough to realize I didn't know nearly enough to survive. Marcy was an absolutely wonderful teacher — patient, kind, informative, and knowledgeable. She was instrumental in giving me the insights and confidence I desperately needed at the time. She's an asset to any firm, and I thank her for helping me as she did.
— Hal Williams, Creative Director, Point B
I had the opportunity to work side by side on multiple large scale digital projects with Marcy at UBS. Marcy clearly demonstrated how knowledgeable and detailed oriented she is as a writer and an editor. Her keen ability to work efficiently while under strict deadlines helped ensure that we always hit our target dates. It was a pleasure working with Marcy and having her as a business partner in the digital space.
— Melanie Kaye, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Samsung Electronics
Marcy is a very talented editor and would be an incredible asset to any firm. For the projects we collaborated on, she quickly got to "the heart of the matter" and was instrumental in meeting the tight deadlines. I highly recommend her and her abilities.
