Strategic Thinking + Innovative Work

who we are

"Best Boutique Branding Agency"

UpShift creates powerful brands that are integrated across all channels, including print, digital, social media, and advertising. Our smart, innovative branding, design, and website work help your business stand out and attract target customers.

With teams in Chicago and Los Angeles, we think like a large agency but deliver like a boutique. That means UpShift combines the strategy and account services of the big dogs with the innovation and responsiveness of a boutique.

Perhaps that's why we were voted "Best Boutique Branding Agency" for 2 years!
