Make It Matter
UpHouse is halfway between an advertising agency and a member of your in-house marketing team.
We don’t minimize or replace the talent you already have. Instead, we fill in the skill gaps and offer guidance along the way.

Cerebral Palsy Association of Manitoba’s Sharing Hope in Isolation
We’ve designed our services to solve three challenges of modern marketing teams:
- Too close to your own brand
- Can’t hire for every single skill
- Putting out fires, not building strategies
Agencies challenge your thinking and inject a new perspective that sparks big ideas. UpHouse does that. An in-house marketing leader boosts the skills of the entire team and builds a plan for long-term success. UpHouse does that too.
Core Competencies:
Public Relations:
In business, reputation is everything. Our team is one of the most experienced in PR in Manitoba. We’ve seen clients through grand openings, new products, strategic pivots, serious crises and everything in between. From finding the newsworthy story in your organization to training your team how to speak with media outlets, we’ll work with your team to develop and protect your reputation.
Corporate and Product Brands:
UpHouse has worked with organizations large and small to refresh, recharge or develop their brands. We work on corporate branding initiatives along with specific product brands, shaping the stories and identities that bring them to life. If your organization is starting fresh, changing direction, merging or targeting a new audience, reinvigorating your brand is a powerful tool to jumpstart your marketing and align your organization around a shared vision.
Production Support:
If you need to fill a gap in the execution of your marketing plan, or you want to raise the quality of work in particular areas, we are here to help. UpHouse works with a group of seriously talented designers, web developers, writers and digital marketers to produce a wide range of work. We are skilled in handling production needs including video and graphic design, and content and digital marketing.
Marketing and Sales Campaigns:
One of our core strengths is the development of great creative ideas. A breakthrough idea should speak to who you are, what your brand stands for and the promise you make to your audience. UpHouse helps clients develop marketing and sales campaigns to grow their business, raise their profile or inspire behavioural change. We have a well-structured and considered process that ensures we have turned over all the right rocks on our quest to find your great idea.

We Exist to Inspire the Social
Consciousness of Brands
UpHouse is an award-winning, diverse-owned marketing and PR agency. We help corporate partners develop their supplier diversity stories. And we help in-house teams shape their brands and execute diverse marketing and recruitment campaigns.
We believe in elevating messages that need to be heard. People consume media whether they want to or not, so we feel it’s our role to make sure it’s authentic, accessible and diverse.
UpHouse’s 2022 Winnipeg Pride Float – For our 2022 Float we decided to ask the community to join us. We knew there were many new and solo attendees who might love to participate in Pride but were hesitant to join the celebration because they didn’t have anyone to go with. So we decided to open up our float and invite the public to Pride With Us. We were joined by over a hundred excited attendees who danced and marched together, bringing a true sense of community to the event.
