"Marcus is a supremely talented journalist whose sharp copy, creative nous and easy communication style make him an asset to any organisation. An editor’s dream, Marcus is a naturally high performer who ensures every story is delivered with added depth and colour, while his instinctive understanding of digital audience behaviours and referral strategies make him a force to be reckoned with in the news room. Consistency, positivity and a natural propensity towards hard work are just some of the many strengths Marcus brings as standard and working alongside him is never anything less than an absolute pleasure."

During my time working with Marcus, he was an incredibly reliable and motivated member of the team. The definition of a self-starter, I could always trust Marcus to make decisions on the key stories of the day, as well as which interview opportunities to go for. Marcus is one of the best writers I've had the pleasure of working with, and it was always a joy reading his original pieces. Aside from the work, Marcus always came to our daily meetings with a smile and positive attitude, and was a very valued member of the team. It is a real shame to no longer be working with him."

"If I was starting an editorial team from scratch today, Marcus Wratten would be one of the first people I'd hire. I still remember interviewing him for his first permanent journalism role – it felt more like an editorial pitch meeting than an interview with someone at the start of their career. Marcus doesn’t just know entertainment – he understands culture and how it reflects, shapes and gives voice to communities. He's going to thrive in this space, and I can't wait to watch his career grow on an editorial team that sees the great value he brings."
