Uprising Agency

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of My Club, a private business club in London that connects Russian-speaking entrepreneurs from 12 countries, fostering collaboration, networking, and personal growth within a supportive, values-driven community.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Uprising Agency?

We wanted an expert session for our club members, mostly entrepreneurs and business owners who aren’t designers, on how AI can be used to build a design system and then quickly produce everyday marketing materials, including presentations, ad creatives, and social media posts.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Uprising Agency prepared and delivered an online session, “From Idea to a Ready Design System with AI.” Alex (CEO & Art Director) and their lead designer walked through the studio’s real workflow on an example brand project: building a design system with AI tools, then turning it into presentations, ads, and social posts in minutes. They prepared the presentation and examples, ran live screen demonstrations, and answered members’ questions. The presentation materials and video were provided after the session.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Uprising Agency.

How did you come to work with Uprising Agency?

Efim (Co-Founder & CEO) is a member of our club, and that’s how I got to know the team. I already knew the team and their work, and they could walk our members through their own studio process with real examples rather than theory. That was exactly what our members needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together in July 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

It was a one-off educational session. Members got a clear, step-by-step process they can apply in their own businesses and a realistic picture of what they can do themselves with AI and when it makes sense to bring in a design studio. The instruments presented are now applied in businesses, such as design systems, AI agents, and landing page coding and deploying. For example, members have created Instagram carousels and meeting presentations.

How did Uprising Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They were well-organized. They prepared everything in advance and delivered on the agreed date, without anything for us to chase. We communicated via in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They showed their actual working process instead of a theoretical overview and explained it in plain language for a non-designer audience.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there wasn’t anything significant.

BACKGROUND

I am the COO of Seratone

Proprietary technology that automatically optimizes live audio for consumer speakers, keeping them safe and making performances sound incredible.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

• Redesign Seratone’s live Kickstarter page mid-campaign so it was clearer, more premium and easier to read on mobile, and get improved sections live quickly to support a new wave of paid ad traffic.
• Design a retail packaging sleeve for the Seratone hard case that carries the brand’s look from Kickstarter to shelf, explains the product at a glance, and is print-ready with a custom dieline.

SOLUTION

Online Search

High ratings

They delivered a completed professionally designed Kickstarter page and a final packaging design. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

After the redesigned page went live, the client estimates average customer acquisition cost on paid ads fell from about $170 to about $100, with better return on ad spend for net-new backers.

The first redesigned sections went live 9 days after kickoff, timed for a new ad push; the full page was live about two weeks in, rolled out block by block so the campaign page was never taken down.

Communication was great, lots of revisions but was handled quickly and diligently 

Email or Messaging App

Great communication and common sense

Could be more particular about the use of AI people

How did Uprising Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Uprising Agency's project management was good. The team delivered on time. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We appreciated that Alex and the Uprising Agency team didn't approach the project as a purely visual exercise. They spent a lot of time understanding how our business works. The team helped us structure the information, challenged the way certain things were presented, and worked with us on the sitemap, wording, content hierarchy, and overall communication logic alongside the design itself.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing we can come up with.
