"Elyse was my secret weapon during a recent engagement. I found myself overbooked with client work, and engaged her behind the scenes to craft a strategic communications plan for a client. We would meet weekly, I would rattle off what I thought was needed next, and she delivered beautifully against less than specific parameters. I never had to ask for something twice, and she was incredibly effective and efficient with my feedback. I would 100% work with her again, and look forward to doing so!”

— Kate Hays, Partner, North & Main Strategy

"At the start of the pandemic, I became a sole business owner out of necessity. After about nine months, I became disheartened with my makeshift website and cluttered marketing, and I reached out to Elyse. She asked me brilliant and thought-provoking questions about my business, goals, and mission. Her questions truly helped clarify what my brand was and who my target clientele should be.

Within a week after our first meeting, Elyse had done a complete audit of my website, had a plan to restructure it, advised me on brand positioning, and taught me how to better communicate my services and offerings. Now, two years later, I won’t launch a new project or offering without Elyse’s help which keeps me on brand, communicating concisely, and marketing effectively.

Elyse is professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and astute — she knows what she is doing and she does it extremely well. She has truly transformed my business, and to be honest, I cannot live without her!”

— Kelly Brandon, Small Business Owner & Yoga Teacher

In addition to supporting me in brand positioning, she sits alongside me as an editing partner, helping ensure the message I want to deliver is clear. She is an amazing, reliable resource, and I highly recommend her incredible skills."

“Elyse provided strategic communications support for our national research study. She promptly identified areas for improvement in our messaging and delivered meaningful results in her editorial process. Not only did she fix every issue with spelling, grammar, and punctuation, she also resolved inconsistencies in our communications and clarified our calls to action. She went above and beyond our expectations by facilitating a workshop with our team, helping to clarify our mission statement which now serves as the foundation for our marketing materials. I am convinced that her communications skills contributed directly to the improvements in our participant enrollment.”

"I've been fortunate to work with Elyse Goldberg throughout the years as a direct supervisor and on a contract basis. She comes to every project—big or small—the same way: prepared. As an editor, she is more than "a second set of eyes." She elevates the work by asking thoughtful and strategic questions, making sound recommendations, and thinking like a partner. She's the consummate professional and project manager. Elyse is polished in presentation, detail-oriented, focused, on budget, and ahead of schedule. She makes projects and the people she works with better."

“It was an exceptional experience working with Elyse, and I will definitely work with her again. I had a very time-sensitive job that required quite a bit of attention. In a very short time, she edited 100% of our new website’s pages. In addition to editing the website and polishing it to perfection, she provided us with lots of valuable suggestions. She is extremely efficient, responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. I am very pleased with Elyse, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

Elyse led the editing of the Journal of Integrated Marketing Communications, a nationally and internationally distributed journal of theory and practice of integrated marketing communications. She improved more than 25 pieces of content in a fast-paced environment to meet the printing deadline. I hope I can work with Elyse again — she is one of the most reliable and detailed-oriented individuals I know.”
