Marta Pozniakowski, Founder

"I have known and admired Sue Edworthy for many years and, most recently, have had the great pleasure to work with her in her role as consultant, facilitator, and instructor for WorkInCulture's Marketing Masterclass for Arts and Heritage Organizations and its several adaptations. Sue is a much sought-after marketing and communications specialist with broad and deep experience across the non-profit arts community. She brings experience, empathy, and a wonderful sense of humour to all she does. I recommend her highly and hope to work with her again in the future."

Diane Davy, Executive Director,

"As the Artistic Director of b current performing arts and as someone who has had more than a decade of experience in theatre publicity and marketing, I couldn't choose just anyone to be on my team. I wanted someone with a sense of adventure, a sense of humour and a sense of strategy. Sue did an amazing job working within our tiny budget to create an outstanding campaign. The result? Hundreds of people messaging me about our ads online and a sold out run and extension."

-Catherine Hernandez, Artistic Director

“We worked with Sue on the second year of Your Dance Fest and look forward to working with her again. Our company’s focus prior to Your Dance Fest has been the production of self-created work. Therefore, when stepping in to the world of festival production, it was important for us to have people on our team who supported our vision, encouraged us to take risks and we could trust to get the work done. Sue was all of that and more. Her knowledge base spans far beyond the arts community. This was exceptionally beneficial for our community-centered dance event. She truly invests in her clients and tailors her approach to meet their needs.”

"Sue’s reputation as an arts marketer is legendary! I had the pleasure of working with her on Arts Consultants Canada’s Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. Sue has a wealth of knowledge about all things traditional and digital marketing, she has an insatiable curiosity about current arts marketing trends, and she doesn’t hide her enthusiasm for the product she is promoting. Most importantly, she asks the hard questions, so that her clients get the best advice and results."

Laura Adlers, M.M.

Arts and Non-Profit Management Consultant

"Sue is an art warrior. She is inspired, intelligent and precise in all areas. Professional, honest and graceful in all ways. Collaborating with her on our most recent production of Weather was a smooth process requiring the integration of constantly shifting information around experimental new technology with a clear artistic vision for publicity and communications. Her ability to see what is at the heart of each project she is dealing with is incredible and rare. It is clear that Sue only takes on projects she believes in and works from this place of investment to create larger spheres of awareness for your work."

-Brandy Leary, Artistic Director

"Sue brought her knowledge, enthusiasm, and “can do” attitude to her work with Pax Christi Chorale, helping us expand our communications activities, and build our internal capacity. She opened new and exiting avenues for us to pursue, making our marketing efforts more effective in the process. And she made it fun! Thanks Sue."

-Jennifer Collins, General Manager

"Sue helped us to promote a fundraising concert that took place during Luminato and the Stratford and Shaw festival opening weeks. It was not an easy task but she managed to move mountains and get a ton of exposure for Theatre 20. She has established relationships with important media contacts in Toronto and, in many cases, was able to open new doors for us. We felt that her efforts really had a positive impact on ticket sales. She also gave detailed feedback when it was requested and was a pleasure to work with."

-Tamara Bernier

"Sue was an absolute delight to work with when we presented Fishskin Trousers this fall. Passionate, polished and professional, she was always on the ball and helped our team out immensely. Her publicity and marketing expertise allowed our company to confidently focus our efforts on other production needs – what a relief! She is a gem and I can’t wait to have another opportunity to work with her again."

-Megan Gariepy, Producer

"us: we were birthing the production professionally in conjunction with the birth of our first child – we needed a strong network around us: people who could execute our vision flawlessly with precision and passion. There was no room for stress or error. There wasn’t a time during either process where we couldn’t put total faith into Sue. She is tough but sensitive, she thinks outside the box but makes sure the box is full on the inside first. She is a total mix of precision and creativity."

Bound to Create Theatre

-Lauren Brotman, Co-artistic Director

"Sue was our first choice to handle the publicity and communications for our 10th Anniversary Season production of Ching Chong Chinaman. Her expertise, work ethic and sensibilities fit right into the culture at fu-GEN Theatre. Sue’s creativity and ability to merge her business with our artistic aesthetic is unparalleled in her field. Her passion for the arts and tireless commitment to your project as if it were her sole concern make her a force to be reckoned with. For a small company with limited resources, Sue was just what we needed, when we needed it. Seriously, just f**king hire her."
