ELISE communications has been instrumental in helping ANDE with our media outreach and ensuring that we are in contact with the writers and publications that are covering this space. They definitely go above and beyond to make sure our story is being told.

The results working with ELISE have been exceptional: positive coverage of our grantees, competition winners and activities in national and regional print, online and broadcast media. And for our grantees, broad public recognition of their accomplishments and, from this, new contacts, sales and partnerships have developed.

ELISE communications is the epitome of professionalism. When the group takes on a project, they take it on in full— devoting their best creative efforts to making every aspect a success. It is a pleasure to work with such an energetic, enthusiastic team.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers collaborated with ELISE communications on the wildly successful launch of Out of Poverty by Paul Polak. Unlike traditional book publicists, Carrie and her colleagues have broader publicity goals for books than merely the book page. This fuller, more out-of-the-box approach is critical at a time when the traditional modes of book publicity are becoming less and less effective.

Carrie Barnes is a master at activating media people and other key players in the arenas that matter to a particular  project, and at creating high quality materials that win attention and build enthusiasm.
