plymouth branding agency for the point of change
Brand identity, websites and packaging — from a studio at Mount Wise House, for organisations across the Ocean City and beyond.
Plymouth
Plymouth organisations tend to come to us at a turning point. The community group turning into a proper charity. The waterfront business that's outgrown its old identity. The trust whose website makes trustees wince. The social enterprise that's suddenly national and needs to look it.
We're Upshot — a brand and web design agency born and based in Plymouth, at Mount Wise House. Since 2017 we've built remarkable rebrands for charities, social enterprises and ambitious businesses across the city and beyond: strategy first through our Identity Clarifier Process™, then identity, website and print that all pull in the same direction.

one city, one studio, on your doorstep
Being Plymouth-based means Plymouth isn't a market we service; it's home. We know the funding landscape your charity navigates, the seasons the waterfront runs on, and which meeting rooms have decent coffee. Workshops happen where your people are — and if that's a five-minute walk from ours, even better.
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.

Mount Wise House, overlooking the Sound. We work with organisations across the city — from Devonport and Stonehouse to Plympton, Plymstock and the waterfront — and out into the wider South West.
