UpBuild is a boutique digital marketing agency specializing in the end-to-end optimization of the online user journey.

Founded by industry leader Mike Arnesen, UpBuild focuses on providing cutting-edge digital strategy, building the best team in the industry, and helping organizations develop technical marketing skills.
Our Sweet Spot
We know what we’re great at and we’re proud to focus on that exclusively. Our sweet spot is the overlap between the marketing skill set and the web technology stack – a specialty we call “Technical Marketing”. We pride ourselves in using our technical marketing expertise to help organizations measure, analyze, and optimize their digital properties.
Our Story
UpBuild was founded by 10-year industry veteran, Mike Arnesen, in May of 2015. After leading Portland-based agency SwellPath to a successful acquisition as the Director of Analytics & Optimization, Mike set out to build a new breed of digital agency; one that was both incredibly idealistic and committed to achieving unmatched results for clients.
One of the reasons that UpBuild exists is so that great organizations can have access to the best technical marketers in the world. We pride ourselves on building a team of folks who are exceptionally talented and passionate about what they do and provide them with the support, resources, and opportunities to do great work. We’ve intentionally moved away from the large agency way of thinking that equates more clients with success; our focus is to foster close partnerships with a small number of clients to provide truly exceptional digital marketing ROI.
At the end of the day, we’re just people who are huge geeks for optimizing the internet.
