We know that building a business requires more than strategy, it requires the space to think, reflect, and recharge.

Project Recap: Brookings Regional Growth Alliance

The Brookings Regional Growth Alliance brings together business development, community development, and destination development under one coordinated strategy, creating a clearer path forward for the region.

The new logo reflects that mission through a strong, clear wordmark paired with angled forms that represent alignment and forward movement. Together, these elements symbolize the coordination of efforts into one unified system.

A brand designed to be clear, confident, and easy to carry forward, by staff, partners, and the entire community.

Helping the region move together, with purpose.

Project Recap: McNabb Grain Company

A strong legacy deserves a strong online presence.

McNabb Grain Company has been serving farmers in Illinois since 1913, but their website didn’t reflect the reliability and history behind their business.

We partnered with their team to create a new site that’s clear, easy to navigate, and built to better serve their customers.

Be honest, have you noticed how similar everything looks lately?

Same graphics. Same captions. Same “good enough” content.

AI is a great tool. But when everyone uses it the same way, brands stop standing out.

If you’re not sure your content really reflects your brand… let’s talk.

Our Marketing Manager, Alicia Place broke this down in our latest blog 👇 https://upframecreative.com/ai-can-help-your-content-it-shouldnt-be-your-content/

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities and honestly, they’re why we love what we do.

Every small business has a story. A moment where “let’s try this” turned into something real. We get a front-row seat to that every day, and it’s not something we take lightly.

To the small business owners building something, we’re grateful to partner with you, support you, and help bring your vision to life!

Happy Small Business Week from all of us at UpFrame Creative!

After 27 years with Century 21, Krogman & Company Real Estate made the move to go independent, which meant starting from scratch digitally.

We partnered with their team to build a new website: a site that reflects who they are today, keeps them visible in search, and stands out in a world where most buyers head straight to Zillow or Realtor.com.

One of the biggest priorities? Their people.

We created individual agent profiles that act like mini websites, giving each agent a space to share their story, showcase listings, and build trust, while strengthening the brand as a whole.

The result is a confident relaunch and a digital foundation built for what’s next.

We’re big believers that great ideas don’t just happen, they’re learned, challenged, and refined over time. That’s why our team is always reading, exploring, and staying curious.

Today, we’re sharing a few of the books currently on our desks (and a few all-time favorites). From marketing strategy to mindset shifts, each one helps us keep growing for ourselves and for the people we work with.

Because the best creative work comes from people who never stop learning.

We recently partnered with Brookings Inn to reimagine their digital experience, from first click to final booking.

The goal? Make it effortless for guests to find what they need and reserve their stay with ease.

Here’s what we delivered:
• Seamless integration with their booking system for a smoother, faster reservation process
• Expanded, SEO-driven copy to improve visibility and help guests find key information quickly
• Clear, user-friendly navigation highlighting standout amenities like the pool and convention center

If your website isn’t converting the way it should, it might be time for a smarter, more seamless approach.
