Mary Bennett Harvey

Mary logged equal amounts of time in her career working in advertising and public relations. Consequently, she has an integrated approach to both disciplines. After graduating from college with a degree in theatrical direction –– which has more in common with account management than many might realize –– Mary worked in a large public relations firm and then at the South’s largest advertising agency at the time. Her client experience includes banking and finance, healthcare, insurance, travel and leisure, retail and fast food.

Upon leaving the ad agency, Mary formed Agency a la Carte in 1994. She served clients and talent throughout Florida with clients in Georgia and North Carolina as well. Agency a la Carte grew to be successful, and Mary sold the business. In 2025, Mary decided to make arrangements to own a la Carte again and took the helm in early 2026.
