Marc Crosby – Publishing Editor
Marc, or ‘he who must be obeyed’, has been the Publishing Editor of MoneyMagpie since 2014 and handles the day-to-day running of the site.
He keeps MoneyMagpie up-to-date, makes sure the site gets funded (that’s kind of important!) and generally makes sure everything is working smoothly. If you should ever get in contact with the site, chances are you’ll be speaking to Marc.
He’s also a huge movie buff, so when he’s not working on MoneyMagpie he’s probably either watching another film or walking his very naughty Jack Russell, Benji.

As a strong advocate and one of the forerunners of “solutions journalism”, she takes her role very seriously and tries to help all magpies find their wings.
Vicky is an award-winning journalist and content creator and brings that voice and expertise to making the site as fun to read and helpful as possible. Her background in social enterprise and innovation keeps all us magpies moving forward.
She is also obsessed with dogs…in fact the whole team is!

investing for newbies
MoneyMagpie is on a mission to help everyone get into investing.
We know that 95% of the country is afraid of investing and has never been shown how to take the first steps into making their money make money for them.
This is why we have set up our fortnightly investing newsletter and why we are partnering with investing companies to help run articles, podcasts, webinars and videos all about how to get into investing even if you don’t know anything.
Our articles are easy-to-read, jargon-free and open to all. We cover subjects such as commodities, index tracking funds, bonds, cryptocurrencies, property investing and more.
HOW WE ARE FUNDED
MoneyMagpie.com is funded by partnerships with trusted brands, banner advertising and affiliate marketing to help cover our running costs.
But we choose our adverts and partners carefully – we only include products which we think are genuinely good.
We also look into everything we advertise to try and ensure it’s legitimate (although you should always seek professional financial advice before parting with your money!)
Do we make a profit? We’re hoping to one day!
