Buckley Jr.
Prior to joining Regnery, Marji worked as vice president and senior group publisher for the large newsletter publisher, Phillips International, where she ran several business units, including investment newsletters, business newsletters and health newsletters. At Phillips, she developed deep expertise in direct marketing and branding, as well as publishing and celebrity author management. In her early career, Marji was a business editor and writer.
