Social Strategy & Content that Connects.

Ellie Marie is a CPG Social Media Content Creation Specialist, Social & Creative Strategist and an AI in Marketing Learner who bridges the gap between creativity and strategy. As both a creator and marketing professional, Ellie partners and works for companies to craft content that drives engagement, fosters community, and achieves real growth.

Create it.

My name is Ellie and I am a Social Media Content Creation Specialist, Social & Creative Strategist and AI in Marketing Learner from Pittsburgh who brings brands to life through content and social strategies that drive growth and connect with target audiences. I am professionally working in-house at a Fortune 500 company creating CPG content and have worked agency-side on major e-comm accounts, leading paid and organic social strategies that drive results (and stop the scroll).

Through my own venture, Upway Marketing LLC, I’ve helped over 35 brands — including Glossier and CleanLogic — find their voice online, build smarter content strategies, and show up in a way that feels fresh, relevant, and real. Whether I’m behind the strategy or behind the camera, I love turning ideas into content people want to engage with.
