The thing about UPG
Since 2008, we’ve been pursuing great relationships, great stories and thoughtfully-crafted video content. Our approach has always put our client at the center of the process. While we lead the way, it’s the client that is the expert on her brand. We use that insight to create an emotional connection that will drive demand or the desired outcome. We have a detail-oriented project management style and strive to make ourselves irreplaceable.

Lead Editor
Mike is UPG’s young gun. He’s only been in the “real world” for 3 years and already has helped UPG win several awards, including 3 Tellys in 2015-2016. His passion for cinematic storytelling pushes him everyday to find that one angle, emotion or sequence nobody knew was in the raw footage, resulting in stronger impact for the viewer.
