Stop Losing Hours to Marketing.

We Handle It So You Don't Have To.

Up River Marketing is a woman- and veteran-owned small business built for businesses like yours. We bring the strategy, the creativity, and the consistency — so you can get back to doing what you love.

Custom Marketing That Works as Hard as You Do

Up River Marketing was founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic (I know, not another COVID business!) but we had the goal of helping businesses bounce back and continue to grow in one of the toughest times for all entrepreneurs.

Since then, we have helped numerous businesses.

We strive to keep our prices low so small businesses can achieve their big dreams.

What Sets Us Apart

Built by a Small Business, for Businesses of ALL sizes

We're not a big agency with a one-size-fits-all playbook. From solo entrepreneurs to established organizations, we adapt our approach to fit your team, your goals, and your pace. You get a dedicated partner who learns your brand and grows with you, not a rotating roster of account managers

Your Time Back, Your Growth Accelerated

Stop spending hours wrestling with social media, email campaigns, and website updates. We handle the marketing management so you can focus on what matters most: your customers.

You Stay in Control

Our system keeps you in the loop every step of the way. Review and approve all content before it ever goes live, so your brand voice stays exactly where it should, with you.

One Partner for Everything

From websites and custom graphics to social media and email marketing, we handle it all. No juggling multiple vendors. No dropping balls. Just consistent, quality marketing under one roof.

We're in Your Corner

When you work with Up River Marketing, you're not just another account. We take time to understand your business, your goals, and your audience, and if something falls outside our wheelhouse, we'll point you to someone who can help.

AI-Enhanced, Human-Crafted Work

We use AI tools to sharpen our keyword research, strengthen SEO strategy, and stay ahead of an ever-changing digital landscape, but every post, graphic, and campaign that leaves our hands has been written, reviewed, and refined by a real person who knows your brand. You get the best of both worlds: smart technology and a marketing partner who actually cares.

Ready to reclaim your time and amplify your business?

Let Up River Marketing be the wind in your sails as you navigate toward your business goals.


“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.”
