Energy

UpHouse is a specialized marketing and creative agency for energy, utilities, climate organizations and clean-tech initiatives. We help energy-efficiency programs, public agencies, nonprofits and climate innovators communicate clearly, increase program participation and build trust with the people and communities they serve.

We create accessible, evidence-backed marketing that makes complex topics, like electrification, rebates, retrofits, efficiency upgrades and demand-side management, feel understandable, actionable and relevant.
Energy and climate organizations have unique responsibilities. You’re driving behavior change, supporting grid reliability, advancing sustainability goals and helping people make informed decisions that impact their lives and communities. That requires a partner who understands regulatory environments, public trust, program delivery and the motivations behind how people adopt new technologies.

Let’s work together to clarify your message, increase program uptake and reach the audiences who need your support the most.
