Working with Emily at Poetica is easy - she has great connections, stays on top of her work, and meets deadlines. All things that are very important to me and my clients. I recommend her if youre looking for a communications expert.

Emily Tallman does fantastic brand work. She has a highly honed ability to take raw concepts and convert them into simple understandable professional messages. I have worked with Emily on multiple projects and businesses. She is unique in her ability to understand the problem at hand and channel this into very practical and beautiful solutions. I am astounded at the quality of her work and her dedication to her clients.

Ive worked with Poetica Communications for our website updates, banner designs, flyer designs, and logo designs. In each case the designs provided were not only beautiful artistically, but effectively communicated messaging we were going for. But thats not the most important thing - Poetica staff are kind, understanding and responsive - a real pleasure to work with!

Ive worked with Emily at Poetica for three years and she has always delivered. She is great at what she does and is persistent, professional, and makes us look good. I would highly recommend Emily and Poetica to anyone who needs PR, copywriting, or other communications services.

Upword Creative made a beautiful ad for my poetry book. Since this is my first book, I am green to any kind of marketing. Upword Creative explained everything clearly, gave me a list of information I needed to provide to make the ad, created a beautiful advertisement, sent the ad to me for my approval, and launched it. It was so thrilling to see my ad in a recent issue of a poetry journal, which brought an increase of visitors to my website and an increase of purchases of my book on Amazon. Thank you!

Upword Creative is way ahead of the curve in Alaska! Super efficient, stellar product (graphic design for our project), uber professional, and great communication from Emily made for money well spent for the best job in the state.

Fantastic to work with! Highly recommend.

Spenard JazzFest contracted with Upward Creative to promote our 2016 festival. We had high expectations as we had previously worked with Emily Tallman through her former employer on a large community arts project (5:30 an Urban Conflux). Even so we were duly impressed and pleasantly surprised by the consistent high level of positive, professional work Emily contributes at every turn: Crucial, level-headed input at the ideas stage, flawless and to-the-point copy in no-time (plus graphics if you wanem) .And the companys solid media connections make Upward Creative an invaluable asset for any imaginable production, event or product needing promotion. We met or surpassed all our attendance/brand recognition goals for the year. In the matter of weeks our festivals following on social media almost tripled and the buzz around SJF 2016 was unbelievable! - If you have a good product, rest assured it will be in very good hands with Upword Creative. You will feel keenly supported and discover new importance and a sense of pride in what you are doing, you can be sure people will know your story! - What more can I say - I already hired Upword again for our 10th anniversary Spenard JazzFest 2017. You will hear about that soon!
