Testimonials
Emma Barrett is our preferred design partner for our client, Futures of Seafood, a national, industry-led research and innovation program within the Australian seafood sector. Emma was selected by Cor Comms & Futures of Seafood for this role due to her strong experience in Agri R&D and her ability to translate detailed research and technical content into clear, credible and engaging design.
Over the course of this long-standing engagement, Emma has led the development of the Futures of Seafood brand and delivered a comprehensive suite of communications and program collateral, including reports and publications, digital assets, event materials and stakeholder-facing resources. Her work has required collaboration with stakeholders and contributors, as well as a high level of attention to detail, consistency and reliability.
We have found Emma to be highly dependable, responsive and easy to work with, particularly in managing ongoing and high-volume design requirements. She operates as a trusted extension of the project team and demonstrate strong judgement in balancing brand stewardship with evolving program needs. We would confidently recommend her for retained design partnerships within research-led, industry or government organisations.

Emma was engaged as lead designer with at+m marketing for a five-year period, during which time she played a key role in establishing and maintaining the quality of design across a wide range of corporate and government-related client accounts.
Emma was trusted to take ownership of complex projects and demonstrated strong judgement in balancing brand requirements, communication objectives and practical constraints, particularly when working within regulated client environments.
Throughout her time at at+m marketing, Emma consistently delivered reliable, well-considered work across a broad range of materials, including branding, corporate publications, annual reports, presentations and campaign collateral. She was highly organised, managed competing priorities effectively and could be relied upon to meet deadlines without compromising standards.
It is not always the case that someone who has outstanding design skills is also creative, practical, accurate and fast. Emma was consistently all of these things and adapted to constantly changing priorities and skipped between high volumes of work for multiple clients on a variety of projects. From corporate document design to creative logo concepts, signage and style-guides. Emma is a very strong and experienced all rounder who understands business and brand needs from the top to bottom.
Emma’s ability to operate independently, whilst maintaining strong relationships with internal team members and stakeholders, contributed to the overall strength of the agency and made her a valued member of the team. We would confidently recommend her for senior design roles or retained engagements requiring leadership, accountability and a steady approach to complex work.

Emma has supported the establishment of several not-for-profit environmental organisations within the EcoLands Collective - a network of existing and emerging groups committed to private land conservation and improved land stewardship. She has developed high-quality logos and comprehensive brand kits for organisations including Rendere Environmental Trust, Wildlife Unlimited, Ecologic NRM and others.
Working with Emma has been invaluable for our group, particularly as many staff across these organisations do not have formal training in marketing or branding. Emma consistently brought patience, clarity and good humour to the process, guiding us through each stage and delivering creative, practical solutions. Her work has played an important role in positioning these organisations as credible leaders in their respective fields. We highly recommend her services.

at+m marketing specialises in the delivery of marketing and creative services for larger corporate and government clients across Australia, many of whom require ongoing, high-volume monthly support.

In this role, Emma demonstrated strong judgement and consistency in maintaining brand integrity while delivering a wide variety of work, including brand development, publications, annual reports, presentations, campaign collateral and digital advertising assets. Her understanding of typography, colour and visual systems, combined with solid expertise in marketing strategy, enabled her to deliver design solutions that were both creative and commercially effective.
Emma worked autonomously, managing her own workflow and liaising directly with clients and internal stakeholders. She consistently demonstrated the ability to interpret briefs accurately, manage multiple priorities and deliver work on time and within budget. We found Emma to be reliable, detail-oriented and highly capable of operating within fast-paced, stakeholder-driven environments.
