CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Working with Eleanora has been a game-changer for me as Artistic Director of Music at Co-Cath.
Our ensemble’s work lives in a very nuanced space: sacred choral music, layered with contemporary theatrical elements, deeply tied to cultural narratives. It is not something that can be easily “marketed” in the conventional sense — and for years, I’ve felt a tension between wanting to reach wider audiences and the risk of flattening or oversimplifying the art.
What I value most about working with Eleanora is her remarkable ability to support and “advertise” our work without compromising its essence. She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and brings a level of artistic sensitivity that is rare in the communications world. She never reduces — instead, she helps illuminate.
The results speak for themselves: through Morrison Creative’s visual storytelling, clear messaging, and strategic guidance, we’ve not only seen measurable growth in engagement and audiences — we’ve also seen our artistic identity become clearer and more resonant in the public eye.
For an ensemble like ours, that is priceless. I trust Morrison Creative completely with the voice and image of Music at Co-Cath — and I look forward to continuing this partnership as we grow.

Working with Eleanora has been transformational for Music at Co-Cath. As a performing arts ensemble that blends choral music with immersive theatrical elements, we've often struggled to clearly communicate our identity to broader audiences. Ellie not only embraced the complexity of our work—she has helped us clarify and elevate our story without compromising the core of who we are.
Through thoughtful creative direction and a deep understanding of our artistic vision, she has helped us craft a compelling narrative that resonates across platforms. Her strategic and visual storytelling has resulted in more than doubling our social media following and engagement over the past season. This growth directly translated into increased attendance at our performances and a notable rise in donations.
Ellie approaches every project with insight, precision, and genuine care. Her ability to distill our vision into striking visuals and authentic messaging has made her an indispensable partner. We are deeply grateful for her collaboration and look forward to building on this exciting momentum together.

“Working with Ellie and her team has been one of the best experiences of my professional career. She provides thoughtful and strategic collaboration that has helped showcase our brand’s story in new ways to reach different audiences with our microsite. The microsite platform has enabled us to tell a deeper level of storytelling that was previously only known to myself and a handful of people. Now, we are able to use the microsite as a soundboard to talk about who we are and how we are different.”

"I had the pleasure of working with ELEANORA for their Texas Women to Watch campaign. I had an amazing time with their entire team who were not only enthusiastic, but efficient. My ROI for this campaign was through the roof! I had inquires coming in from all over Texas and even some from other markets. This was an amazing experience with an awesome outcome. I am thrilled to continue my relationship with Eleanora Morrison as she climbs the ranks to global superstardom...I want to be linked when she does!"

Using ELEANORA's custom content creation campaign as the foundation of a new online life for the SA Cancer Council has been powerful. The caliber of community engagement is inspiring. Retailers all over town have responded with sincere positivity and genuine excitement to our Cure Cancer Card campaign. ELEANORA's editorial and social coverage of our fundraiser has been the catalyst for the group and its followers seeing themselves and the possibilities of this campaign differently. I now feel a spirit of real community coming together around the cause that I haven't felt before. I've come to understand through working with ELEANORA that change is more effective and sticks longer when there's a strong visual attached to it. Our three women leaders, looking beautiful and powerful and determined and open and united, bracketed by ELEANORA's masthead and the Council's logo was just the picture that needed to be painted!

"I was honored to have been offered the opportunity to participate in ELEANORA's showcase of Texas Women to Watch. The elegant and meticulous presentation of the feature in ELEANORA and Society Texas magazine provided me with an opportunity to showcase my professional persona to thousands of people in an effective and reputable way. When I posted the provided feature on my social media platforms I was inundated with responses and interactions from not only my followers but their circles as well. People approached me in the gym, the grocery store, and other places I frequent to tell me congratulations and to ask me about my business. Since the feature was published, my client base has not only grown, but also matured thanks to the elevated aesthetic of ELEANORA and the exposure I received on their many platforms. This experience has been well worth the investment."
