Ucreate PR & Events: Tamika Martin
Serial entrepreneur Tamika Martin is the founder of Ucreate PR & Events, the three-time award-winning agency, whose specialities include public relations, talent management and bespoke events. She has an extensive network within the entertainment industry spanning from artist managers to celebrities. She has almost a decade worth of experience within the PR and entertainment industry, working with household names such as Jamaican singer Gyptian and American rapper, Snoop Dogg.
Martin, who leads a small, tight-knit team, enjoys helping and supporting people, so it isn’t any wonder that her business is wholly centred around providing help. She also partakes in various community endeavours and considers herself a ‘charity champion’, always wanting to give back and never forgetting where she has come from herself. She is an active member of the Sickle Cell Society.
A mother of four, Martin always kept in mind that though she couldn’t pursue her dreams wholeheartedly at specific periods in her life, she wasn’t stopping there.
The beginning of Martin’s various business ventures came as a result of entering her daughter into a beauty pageant which was raising awareness on sickle cell anaemia; a condition two of her children have. Upon assisting, setting up and supporting the project, she was interviewed by the local BBC radio regarding her involvement with the pageant and her children’s health. The interview resulted in the birth of her radio show which she produced and hosted for four years. It was here that Martin realised that she had to fulfil her passion to work within the world of entertainment, which brought the inception of Ucreate in 2015. Ucreate PR & Events is all about every client creating their vision and goal. The company boasts a team of highly competent innovators and creatives that carefully manage to encompass this.
Martin has also added value with her hospitality experience to some large household UK events such as 'The Chelsea Flower Show', 'BBC Proms' and 'Radio 2 Live.’ “I just love the multitude of opportunities. Working in the events and entertainment industry brings about some wonderful ventures and favourable networking.”
