About UpWelling Communications

What Does UpWelling Mean?

UpWelling Communications bridges the expertise gap for organizations that need professional communications support but can't afford a full-time hire.

We provide flexible, expert assistance that helps small organizations grow their impact and achieve their mission.

The Problems We Fix

Upwelling (Adjective): A building up or gathering of strength.

The Mission

UpWelling Communications empowers small businesses and nonprofits to amplify their impact through expert, accessible communication solutions.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Communications All On Your Own

Why Small Businesses?

You have enough on your plate without needing to also be a communications expert.

Most small businesses can’t afford to hire a full-time communications team member. Instead, the responsibility falls on the solopreneur or one of the few employees who might not be skilled in communications.

UpWelling Communications is available for one-off communication needs (website creation, reports, analysis, guides, etc.) and ongoing part-time services (social media, blog posts, email communications, etc.) to fit any small business’ needs and budget.

Australian Business Size

88.5% of businesses have fewer than 5 employees.
