Case Studies

“The work Ellen has done with me and Ultramed has been extremely helpful for us in bring PR to the forefront of our thinking rather than just our marketing. I would highly recommend working with her as a way to bring focus and energy.”

“Working with Ellen at Nellie PR was very enlightening. She was able to help me clearly identify which aspects of PR to focus on for our brand, and how to go about that. Together we created a strategy that I can follow and track the progress of, and I set aside a day a week to implement that."
