Our Services
At Up River Marketing, we offer strategic, custom marketing services built around your goals, your brand, and your budget. We work with startups, small businesses, nonprofits, and established organizations across Jefferson County and beyond.
No matter your size or industry, you get a dedicated partner who learns your brand, adapts to your pace, and delivers real results. When you work with us, you are not handed off to a junior account coordinator. You get us, every step of the way.
Not sure what you need? Schedule a free consultation and we will figure it out together.
We partner with businesses and organizations of all sizes, including solo entrepreneurs ready to establish their online presence, nonprofits and community organizations that need professional marketing without a big agency price tag, mid-size companies looking for a reliable and flexible marketing partner, and larger organizations that need overflow support, project-based help, or a fresh outside perspective.
If you have a goal, we have a plan to help you get there.

Content and SEO Services
Keeping a blog active and optimized takes more time than most business owners have. We take that off your plate by managing your posting schedule, formatting your content for the web, and ensuring every post is set up to perform in search results. You provide the content or ideas, and we handle the rest, including SEO meta-data, keyword tagging, image optimization, and publishing.

From designing eye-catching templates to writing compelling content and managing your subscriber list, we handle every aspect of your email campaigns. We monitor bounce rates, stay up to date on email delivery regulations, and keep your list clean and active.
Email Marketing Management
Your Google Business Profile is often the very first thing a potential customer sees before they ever visit your website. We set up, optimize, and manage your profile so your business shows up accurately in local search results and on Google Maps. Services include initial setup or cleanup, photo updates, business information management, post scheduling, and review monitoring. Whether you are a brand-new business or just need someone to keep things current, we make sure your profile works for you.

Megan is wonderful to work with. She is very professional and efficient. She asked me some questions to get a feel for what I was looking for and within a couple days she had developed a website that was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her for any of your marketing needs.

Logo Design
One year before we opened I asked Megan with Up River Marketing to create a logo for us. Without any idea what I wanted much besides the color, she came up with our logo that is still used on all our items and is a huge symbol for us. People see our logo daily and it has helped us continue to grow just from seeing something so repetitive and knowing its a quality service we offer from a simple piece. She also helped us financially with this as a brand new business. Forever grateful for this logo and her help!

Social Media Management
I’ve worked with Megan Martin at Up River Marketing for the past five years, and she has become an invaluable part of my business. Megan brings a rare combination of creativity, strategy, and follow-through. She understands my brand, knows how to translate my voice into social media content, and keeps the behind-the-scenes details moving, from managing my social media branding to handling my newsletters through Zoho One.
What I appreciate most is that Megan doesn’t just execute what I ask. She thinks with me, brings ideas to the table, and makes sure the details are handled consistently and professionally. As a business owner, having someone you can trust to take something off your plate and do it well is priceless.
If you’re a small business owner looking for someone who can bring strategy, creativity, and consistency to your marketing without making it feel like just another thing on your to-do list, I highly recommend Megan and Up River Marketing.
