Our Story

A marriage of b2b minds

Upp B2B was born when leading Manchester b2b agencies Marketecture and Clock Creative merged in August 2016.

With a combined track record of 30 years, the two agencies were an obvious complementary fit. The merger suited a shared ambition to create a mid-sized independent b2b agency – an agency with the talent and resources needed to ‘aim higher’.

 

Ann Rimmer launched Clock Creative in 1999. Its purpose was helping ambitious companies grow through brand strategy and considered creativity. 

Four years later, over on the other side of Manchester, Max and Michael Clark established Marketecture, an agency offering inspirational b2b marketing thinking.

Over the coming years Clock Creative and Marketecture were to pick up an array of awards and produce fantastic work for the likes of DHL, Elsevier, Financial Times, Rolls Royce, CHEP, London Business School, Envigo, RELX Group and Transport for Greater Manchester.

The two agencies now happily coexist as Upp, which has annual billings in excess of £2million – and a vision for becoming a top 20 UK b2b agency by 2022.
