ABOUT US
Hey, we're UPBEAT.
We empower small businesses to compete with the big leagues — with holistic, hands-on marketing strategies that actually work.
Our Mission
Meet your growth partner.
We founded UPBEAT with a simple belief: small businesses deserve a partner who’s just as invested in their success as they are — the kind of agency you always wished existed. Strategic. Transparent. Obsessively focused on results.

You care deeply about your business — and we match that care in every strategy, campaign, and conversation. We dive in, learn your vision, and treat your goals like our own.
That’s why we work closely with each client to craft clear, creative strategies that drive real growth.
No cookie-cutter plans. No surface-level service. Just a team that genuinely gives a damn — and shows up like it.
When you work with us, you get the real deal:
-
Direct collaboration with the people doing the work
No middlemen, no handoffs - because we take your business personally
-
Boutique feel, big-agency brains
Small by design, sharp by default
-
Clear communication, always
No jargon, just transparency and straight answers
-
Transparent pricing & process
No surprises, no gotchas – we're an open book
-
Custom strategies tailored to your brand
No cookie-cutter campaigns – only solutions as unique as your brand
We don’t try to be everything to everyone. We stay focused, intentional, and in tune with what actually moves your business forward.

Core Values
What Drives Us
Strategy First, Always
No guessing. No gimmicks. Just thoughtful, intentional work that drives results and scales with your goals.
Stay Curious
We ask questions, test assumptions, and explore new possibilities. Curiosity keeps us innovating – and your brand ahead.
Make an Impact
We’re not here to just “do marketing.” We’re here to move the needle. Every campaign is designed to spark real growth and long-term momentum.
Radical Clarity
We don’t hide behind vague buzzwords and jargon. We keep things simple, honest, and easy to understand — so you always feel empowered and informed.
Give a Damn
We show up like it’s our business – bringing care, commitment, and follow-through every step of the way.
Meet The Founder
Hi, I'm Stephany Kaufman – CEO, Strategist, and the force behind UPBEAT.

Years Experience
I started UPBEAT to give small businesses a real alternative to bloated agencies and cheap “quick fixes” that don’t drive lasting growth.
I wanted to build a studio that rolls up its sleeves, partners with you, and helps you grow with purpose.
With nearly a decade of experience and an M.S. in Digital Marketing & Media from the Katz School of Science & Health, I’ve helped brands — from global giants to founder-led startups — scale through smart strategy, powerful storytelling, and no-BS marketing that delivers real results.
Big or small, every project gets the same grit, creativity, and heart — because every brand deserves to be built with excitement and intention.
Today, whether as a founder, strategist, speaker, or mentor, my mission stays the same: helping brands grow with clarity, confidence, and serious momentum.

Our Process
We don’t do cookie-cutter. We build what works — with you, not just for you. Here’s how we turn your vision into momentum:
01 Discover
We dig deep to understand your business, goals, audience, and pain points.
02 Roadmap
We build a custom roadmap designed to drive growth — combining data, creativity, and business logic.
03 Create
This is where the magic happens. We bring your brand to life with powerful storytelling, design, and digital assets that convert.
04 Launch
We go live with precision — testing, tweaking, and optimizing from day one to make sure we hit the ground running.
05 Scale
Once we see what’s working, we double down. We refine, scale, and evolve your marketing to keep you ahead of the curve.
