bristol branding agency for the point of change
Brand identity, websites and packaging for Bristol's charities, social enterprises and mission-led businesses — from a South West studio that travels well.
Bristol
Bristol organisations tend to come to us at a turning point. The charity that's outgrown its old visual language. The social enterprise scaling from city-wide to national. The trust merging services and needing to look like one thing. The impact-led business that wants a brand as considered as the work.
We're Upshot — a brand and web design agency based in Plymouth, working with Bristol clients since 2017. We build remarkable rebrands for charities, social enterprises and ambitious businesses: strategy first through our Identity Clarifier Process™, then identity, website and print that all pull in the same direction.

not a bristol studio pretending otherwise
We're not from Bristol and we won't pretend to be. What we bring instead: a senior team on every project, a properly strategic process, and enough motorway miles to know the M5 like our own postcode. Workshops happen in person where they matter — kick-off, big decisions, launch — the rest happens the way modern work happens.
Identity Clarifier Process™
The Identity Clarifier Process™ is how every project starts: a structured way to get everyone — trustees, founders, teams — to total clarity on who you are and why it matters. Design without it is decoration.
how the process works →questions, answered
No — we're honest about that. We're based in Plymouth and work with organisations across Bristol regularly. It's a two-hour hop up the M5, and workshops in person are worth the trip.
