"Marki Costello is one of the most revered leaders in the world of television hosting and casting. Her off-kilter sense of humor, her dedication to her clients and her widespread relationships throughout the entertainment industry are just a few of the qualities that make her so wonderfully unique and special..." -Lisa Germani, TVGuide Network

Movies:

"I attended Marki's boot camp in Dallas, Texas. I left there so motivated! I applied all that I learned and shot an amazing reel. I sent out just ONE and I am now the new co-host for Good Morning Texas on ABC. ONE weekend with Marki, ONE reel sent and I am now on the air in Market#7! And all in four weeks!! I highly recommend Marki's Hosting Boot Camp for every talent level." -Amy Vanderoef, Student

Television:

"Marki has a great eye for talent- so much so that we often book her clients to appear on E! and the STYLE network." -Maureen Brown, Casting Executive, E!

Books:

"Marki Costello is a rare breed these days in Hollywood; she's a kick-ass manager, but she still has a heart and soul and actually cares about her clients. If it wasn't for Marki, I would have left this godforsaken business years ago. She's more than just a manager, she's been a friend and someone who understands what is truly important in life. Now, if I could just get her to stop talking for one second... hhahahaa" -Matt Gallant, Client

Heroes:

"Marki Costello is one of the best talent managers in Los Angeles. She manages only top-notch talent and her company has a fantastic clientele list. I have cast many of Marki's clients on national and cable television shows. She is always such a pleasure to work with." -Carol Barlow, Casting Director
