"Berrett-Koehler Publishers collaborated with ELISE on the successful launch of Out of Poverty by Paul Polak. Unlike traditional book publicists, Carrie and her colleagues have broader publicity goals for books than merely the book page. This fuller, out-of-the-box approach is critical at a time when traditional modes of book publicity are becoming less effective." — Peter Cavagnaro, Publicity Manager, Berrett-Koehler
