Behind the Dockside
Hello!
I’m Mary Kate Feeney, the founder and pen behind Dockside Media.
Ever since starting my neighborhood newspaper as a kid, I have a passion for writing and good stories. This led me from working on my university newspaper to Beacon Hill. As Director of Online Media, I “played” Governor Deval Patrick on Twitter and developed digital initiatives improving transparency and engagement with residents. Later I worked for the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, telling the state’s economic and cultural stories in print and digital.
After leaving state government, I ventured out on my own, starting Dockside Media in 2014. I have also been a featured speaker and teacher at Boston University, Framingham State University, the Swiss Consulate, the MetroWest Conference for Women, MetroWest Chamber of Commerce, and Framingham Business Association.
I am the creator of The Ham’er, a weekly newsletter and podcast about my hometown’s civic life. When not writing or thinking/reading/studying marketing, I can be found playing my guitar, listening to The Beatles or hanging out with my beloved rescue black lab, Jack.
What's behind the name...
First, I love all things nautical.
A dock is where voyages begin. It is a place of calm and preparation. Working with me allows you to “dock” your ideas or content, as we work together to organize and refine before sending your story out to the world through the written word.
My expertise as a writer and consultant is your safe harbor, helping you navigate the complexities of marketing and communication.
Let’s launch ships.
