News // Spring 2011

Let the good times roll (again)
Another harsh Chicago winter is behind us. So too is the worst of the recession. As the crocus pop their heads out of frigid soil, businesses are realizing it's time to invigorate marketing and branding efforts.

Spring 2011: Trends & Observations

1. Branding is King. Because consumers are value conscious, they are turning to brands they trust. Smart businesses today are investing in their brand image and messaging to win mind and marketshare.

2. New Media is the New Voice. Businesses are allocating more dollars toward new media to reach consumers on a personal level. It's more important than ever to align traditional print media strategies with social and location-based media, smart phone apps, QR codes, eNewsletters and websites.

UpShift is the branding experts. Nobody integrates all of your print, social media and online touchpoints under one voice, one brand better than we do.
