Elevating BRANDS through powerful storytelling across media & experiences.

Throughout their careers, leaders and members of the UPBrand team have provided lift to a wide range of local, national and international marketing efforts.

Our STORY is based on a unique mix of talent, strategy and management.

Talent

UPBrand is a team of veteran strategists, inventors, storytellers and producers focused on helping brands differentiate, build loyalty and insistence among their audiences.

Our team members have been successful on Madison Avenue working with recognized international brands, been on the "client-side" with major marketing-driven companies, and have led some of the most respected agencies in the Midwest. Now, we offer a new perspective.

Strategy

To say we're simply a creative shop is only partially true. We fully embrace the notion that our best inventions ultimately derive from the right information as well as from hard work and natural talent. So, yes, we believe in research... and actively encourage gathering insights to set strategy before creative development begins.

We're proud of the beautiful work we've had the opportunity to produce. But, at UPBrand, it's not about pretty pictures for the sake of pretty. It's not about simply building our portfolio.

Sure, we have won our share of awards, but it's generating rewards for clients that really drives us. Here, it's about inventing a solution that fits each client's situation. Ultimately, we are committed to making sure our work always looks great, feels right and does the trick.

Management

We’ve built a team that’s passionate about how our client's audiences truly interact with brands. Each of us embrace those opportunities to create genuine engagement... wherever they exist.

Child-like curiosity and a passion for the new and different lead us into many forms of message delivery... traditional and non-traditional. We bring to bear talent, skills and experience for every project best suited for each assignment. In fact, we have two sister companies that are experts in delivering on key aspects of the brand experience, Creative Producers Group and Vidzu – offering world class event design and production and web-based micro TV networks.

Figure 451a. Our Ethos:

  • _A. STRATEGY FIRST.

    Data inspires strategy, which inspires and contextualizes creativity

  • _B. INVENTION.

    We create relevant storytelling with new visual and verbal concepts that truly engage

  • _C. FLAWLESS EXECUTION.

    We deliver design, copy and production of the highest quality: on time, on budget, error-free and on target

  • _D. INTEGRITY.

    Honesty in our dealings, honesty in our work is our only policy.

  • _E. COLLABORATION.

    Working together amongst ourselves, with partners and with our clients is more effective and fulfilling than working alone.

  • _F. CROSS EXPERIENCE.

    Perceptions created, relevance elevated, objectives achieved... from brand essence across media. We think about every touchpoint of your brand.

SERVICES delivered without the narcissism so common in the agency business.

Excellent LEADERSHIP often feels like collaboration. Doing it well comes with experience.

Our principals each offer roughly 20 years in the business. We are a collection of inventive and strategic leaders that offer wisdom from an impressive breadth and depth of experiences. Each member of the UPBrand leadership team has an established reputation as a thought leader and we'll continue to influence thinking about what's next for our clients. Meet just a few of the reasons why we include the word "collaborative" in our name.
