About
Empowering brands to own the moment. That's our superpower.
We use creativity, digital fluency, and cultural agility to lead brands through a world of change and unleash their full potential.
As a full-service advertising and activation agency, we find clarity and opportunity in a world where commerce, culture, media, and technology have blurred conventional boundaries. For brands like Corona Extra, Google, Quaker, Newell, Bibigo, Therma-Tru and Karo we develop brand-building ideas that break conventions, inspire participation, and build equity.
Since our founding in 1994 by members of the LGBTQ community, Upshot has set out to create a creative agency fueled by cultural curiosity and a progressive mindset. In fact, 6 of the 8 members of our executive leadership team identify as female or a member of the minority community.
We are proud to be one of a select group of agencies to participate in BLAC: Building Leaders and Creators, an internship program focused on bringing more Black talent to the advertising industry.
In 2016, Upshot joined Advantage Solutions, the global leader in data- and technology-enabled omnichannel solutions including sales, retail merchandising, business intelligence, digital commerce, and marketing services. We operate within Advantage Marketing Partners, the company’s brand marketing division.
