About Goodman Creative

Goodman Creative was born from my passion for creating meaningful, memorable experiences — whether that’s through smart digital marketing, seamless event planning, or bringing order to busy lives.

I’m Elise Goodman. With over 6 years of hands-on experience in the USA as an event and wedding planner — where I also managed all aspects of social media and marketing — I’ve developed a strong foundation in blending creativity with organisation and strategy.

Now based in the North East of the UK, I work with clients across industries to deliver support in digital marketing and social media management, website building and maintenance, event and wedding planning, and even lifestyle organisation. From planning holidays and managing schedules to helping reorganise your wardrobe, I offer tailored support to bring clarity and ease to your life and business.

Whether you're launching a brand, planning a standout event, or simply looking for someone to help make sense of a hectic calendar, Goodman Creative provides a personalised, collaborative service that helps you grow — and breathe — with purpose.

Testimonials

We engaged Elise Goodman, owner of Goodman creative, to enhance our digital and website marketing proposition as we moved into the 2nd stage of our overall business plan.
Following a brief from me , Elise delivered a first class presentation with a clear plan and strategy of how we move both our digital and website marketing proposition forward. Following her engagement and 2 months into the project, we have seen a substantial uplift in our on line following and enquiries, leading to an 80% uplift in sales YOY.
She has also been instrumental in delivering enhanced web page content and ideas. We asked her to lead our “Join the team” web page development and the uptake in enquiries for our advert for an Outdoor Adventure Site manager has delivered exceptional candidates for us to interview in this crucial stage of our development.
I have also seen Elise’s event planning work first hand where she meticulously delivered 2 completely different wedding events last year that were brilliantly executed and within budget.
We have now asked Elise to coordinate a number of large Corporate events we have coming up this summer and already the level of expertise and planning she has shown fills us full of confidence that these events will be huge successes.
On the evidence of all the above, I would have no hesitation in recommending Elise and Goodman Creative to any prospective companies looking to move their marketing and events proposals forward.

Ben Ducker Co-Owner at Yorkshire Outdoors

Working with Elise at Goodman Creative has been nothing short of transformative for our business. Since she came on board, our social media presence has grown by over 300% — we’ve gone from a quiet, inconsistent online footprint to a vibrant and engaging presence that truly reflects our brand. More importantly, our property bookings have soared, increasing from around 50% occupancy to consistently 95%+ full across our portfolio.

Elise completely built our website from nothing, giving us a platform that not only looks great but works seamlessly for both us and our clients. She also manages all of our booking platforms with total professionalism and care — something that has made our lives much easier.

Beyond her skills, Elise is simply a delight to work with. She’s creative, proactive, highly organised, and always brings fresh ideas to the table. She takes the time to understand our goals and works tirelessly to help us reach them. We couldn’t recommend Goodman Creative more highly — it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made as a business

Heather Ferguson, Owner of Sundial Lettings

I entered into a professional relationship with Goodman Creative in June 2024. As a working artist, I required a clear marketing strategy, an efficient website, and a professional presence at exhibitions. I’ve been delighted to note that all these criteria have been satisfied and, indeed, exceeded.

Elise has worked with a clarity of vision and purpose that has enabled me to focus on my work and meet achievable goals.

Exhibitions have been planned well in advance, and I have felt confident these events would be extremely well-organised and sociable occasions. Elise has worked hard to provide the potential customer with an environment and atmosphere conducive to viewing and purchasing my work. I am delighted that these events have proved to be very popular and, more importantly, extremely successful.

Elise is an excellent communicator, and she has fostered and maintained excellent working relationships with gallery owners and customers alike. This is a professional characteristic that I set great store by and feel is all too easily overlooked.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Goodman Creative to any potential customers.
