Testimonials


I cannot recommend Emma highly enough, she’s thorough, efficient and a lovely person. I can’t think of a better combination.
— DENISE SILVEY, PRODUCER
Emma is brilliantly proactive and cares deeply about the work onstage, which feeds into her approach as a marketeer. She has an incredible sense of the wider strategy and a diligence in the detail too. She instantly becomes one of the team with the organisations that she works with and brings a joyful energy to everything.
— Holly Gladwell, Executive Producer, ETT

Over the years I have co-produced ten shows in town and as many on tour, and I have no hesitation in saying that Emma Martin is the best marketing professional I have worked with - intelligent, focussed, effective and budget-aware. Nice, too.

What more do you need? She’s the best.
— GYLES BRANDRETH

It’s rare that people come so highly recommended and still manage to exceed your expectations. I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.
— Jimmy Walters, Proud Haddock / Yeast Nation

Working with Emma has been a revelation. Her passion, commitment, expertise and knowledge has taken our marketing and comms to a whole new level. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
— JENNY ROBERTS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RIFCO THEATRE COMPANY

Emma has been the most extraordinarily useful resource for Rhum and Clay and has been immensely generous with her advice, expertise and systems, not to mention her general hand-holding of a team that was new to this mid-scale touring affair! She is knowledgeable, skilful and personable, with an extremely good professional network across the country, all of whom clearly enjoy working with her. It’s a testament to those excellent relationships that marketing teams became notably more enthusiastic when they realised she was working with us. It clearly suggests a level of competence that makes them much more comfortable!
— SALLY COWLING, PRODUCER

Emma supported Park Theatre’s marketing for a 3 – 4 month period during our Spektrix migration. This included delivering on the marketing campaign for Madame Rubinstein, website updates, social media management, proofing assets, building and managing shows on Spektrix and running press nights.

Emma provided us with such a high level of support during a very busy time for the organisation, we felt very reassured having her demonstrable skills and experience in the team. We have since introduced Emma to a number of other producers at our venue; we are always very pleased to consider Emma an extension of the Sales & Marketing team.

Emma is friendly, professional, knowledgeable about marketing and knows how to jump right in to the organisation she’s supporting and hit the ground running.

We highly recommend bringing Emma on board!
— DAWN JAMES, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, PARK THEATRE

The Other Palace have worked with Emma on a number of projects, she is a pleasure to work with, thorough and considered and always happy to step in and help out. The ability to work with someone who has an overview of both marketing and press has been invaluable for the small projects we house as a building. I would highly recommend her.
— ELIN JOSEPH - MARKETING MANAGER, THE OTHER PALACE

Emma is a first-class marketeer and a joy to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Emma is a joy to work with, and is a richly experienced arts marketing manager. 

She has a passion for drama and theatre, and an understanding of the targeting of very limited resources (human and financial) to have the most effect on maximising audience or participation.
— CHRIS GRADY - CREATIVITY & BUSINESS COACH, ARTS MANAGEMENT MENTOR, HEAD OF PROGRAMME MA CREATIVE PRODUCING

Emma Martin is a joy to work with. Efficient, responsive, able to squeeze the most out of a small budget - and always supportive and upbeat. It’s why I don’t like bigging her up to other people in case she gets too big for me!
— JULIE CLARE, PRODUCER

Emma is dedicated, enthusiastic and disciplined in her approach. 

The productions managed to return a profit to our investors and she helped us build stronger relations both with audiences directly and our touring partners across the united kingdom.  

She works on limited resources and with a very small team and constantly delivers results, meeting and exceeding targets. She would be an asset to any theatre or arts organisation.
— ALASTAIR WHATLEY - ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, THE ORIGINAL THEATRE COMPANY

Working with Emma was a dream. She gave me a focused and targeted marketing plan, with a clear budget and schedule, ensuring that I got value for money and effective results. Emma was also brilliant at explaining the more technical side of digital marketing which was invaluable for making our social media cut through to our audiences.
