UpShot LLC is a marketing agency specializing in creative strategies, digital marketing, and cultural insights to help brands effectively engage modern consumers across various channels and demographics. UpShot LLC, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Chicago, US, operates as a marketing agency focused on integrated campaigns. The company was acquired by Advantage Solutions in November 2016 for USD 70. 00 mn, with notable investor Siebel Systems.


Jackie Fradin founded the company and has a history of entrepreneurship in the marketing sector. UpShot is a marketing agency that offers a range of services primarily centered around creativity, digital fluency, and cultural insights aimed at helping brands navigate the complexities of modern consumer behavior. The agency develops integrated marketing campaigns that leverage innovative strategies, including experiential marketing, brand activations, and promotional marketing, to connect with diverse audiences. UpShot has collaborated with brands such as Constellation Brands, Bibigo, and Modelo, producing engaging content that resonates with targeted demographics, including Gen Z and the Hispanic market.


Their services span digital, social media, and traditional marketing platforms, with a focus on major markets in North America, particularly the United States, primarily serving B2B clients to enhance brand presence and engagement through tailored marketing solutions. Information regarding UpShot’s revenue structure is primarily derived from its engagement with corporate clients through various transaction models, including direct-to-consumer campaigns and B2B marketing initiatives. The agency typically enters into partnerships and collaborations with brands, facilitating the development and execution of marketing strategies that drive consumer engagement and brand loyalty. Transactions may involve project-based fees or retainer agreements, where clients pay for a suite of services tailored to their marketing objectives.


UpShot's flagship campaigns, such as the 'Face Plant' initiative for regenerative agriculture, exemplify its ability to create impactful marketing experiences, contributing to overall revenue through a combination of service fees and performance-based incentives, all while maintaining a diverse client portfolio reflecting its adaptability to various brand needs. Following its acquisition in 2016, UpShot LLC intends to leverage its recent funding to enhance its service offerings and enter new markets. Plans include launching innovative marketing solutions targeting the Hispanic market by 2025.
