Emily Gillespie brings more than 20 years of professional marketing experience to the table—but her love for creativity started long before her career did. At age 7, armed with a hot pink Barbie-branded film camera, she fell in love with art, design and capturing meaningful moments. She photographed everything she could and quickly found ways to channel that creativity into school projects, eventually becoming a two-year Editor of her high school yearbook.
That early passion shaped her path. Emily went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications with a minor in Photography, followed by a master’s degree in Mass Communication with a concentration in Integrated Marketing Communications. She often refers to herself as a “Jill of all trades,” because her expertise spans far beyond traditional marketing—she can plan events, design websites, craft strategic communications, build relationships and deliver high-quality creative work with ease.
Over the years, while sharpening her skills across multiple industries, Emily launched Up Way, LLC as a way to stay connected to evolving marketing trends and support clients who needed thoughtful, holistic guidance. Up Way blends holistic marketing, mindful strategy and wellness-driven creativity to help businesses reach new heights. What makes Up Way different from other agencies is simple: empathy, reliability and genuine connection.
