About
One team. Built to move brands forward.
Strategy, marketing and digital, working as one. Senior led, free of ego, across the UK and the US.
Our story
Built by brand people. For brand teams.
We've sat in your seat, and built what we always wished existed.
Uprated was founded on a simple idea: an agency should be as strategic as it is creative, and as easy to work with as your own internal team.
Jon Darch launched Uprated in the UK after years leading digital at Farrow & Ball, where he saw how much time and trust gets lost between siloed teams, bloated retainers and one-size-fits-all solutions. So he built an agency that works differently: leaner, sharper, senior led and free of ego.
UK and US
One team. Two continents.
Jon and Molly McDermott Walsh first worked together at Farrow & Ball. He led digital; she led North America. Years later, as Uprated grew into a full service agency, they joined forces again.
Today one collaborative team across the UK and the US delivers brand strategy, marketing and digital design, from first spark to final conversion.
The team
The people you'll work with.
Senior specialists across every channel, with no handover to a junior team once the contract is signed.
Proudly independent
2014Founded in BournemouthThe agency we wanted to work with.
We are independently owned. We grow by investing in our people and staying agile, because high-calibre people are how we serve clients to the highest standard, now and in the long run.
When the work feels like a hobby.
We're a team that gets on as well out of the office as in it, built on mutual respect and unpressured professionalism. If you're hungry to learn and your specialism feels like a hobby, not a chore, we should talk.
