exeter branding agency for the point of change
Brand identity, websites and packaging for Exeter's charities, social enterprises and ambitious businesses — from just down the A38.
Exeter & East Devon
Exeter has no shortage of agencies. What it's short of is agencies that specialise in the moment that matters most: the point of change. The merger. The new chief exec. The strategy that outgrew the logo. The website everyone's quietly embarrassed about.
That's the work we do. We're Upshot — a brand and web design agency an hour down the road in Plymouth, working with organisations across Exeter and East Devon who need more than a lick of paint. We start with who you are, prove it with strategy, then design the brand and build the website to match. In plain English, from the first conversation to launch day.
what we do
Brand identity
Rebrands and new brands built on our Identity Clarifier Process™, so every design decision traces back to who you actually are.

Fast, flexible websites your team can update without phoning a developer. Designed, built and migrated by us.

yes, we're in plymouth. here's how that works.
We're 45 minutes to an hour from Exeter, and we'll come to you. First brand therapy session at your place, workshops wherever your team actually is, and everything in between runs as smoothly remote as it does in person — our clients are spread from Cornwall to Swindon and none of them have ever needed us to be next door. What you get from those extra miles: a specialist at the point of change, not a generalist around the corner.
Identity Clarifier Process™
Before we design anything, we run the Identity Clarifier Process™ — a structured way to get total clarity on who you are, what you stand for and why anyone should care. It's especially good for organisations with lots of voices in the room: trustees, boards, founders, teams. By the end, everyone's behind the brand — because everyone helped build it.
