Hey Non-profit Director,
Fire your vendors.
Get a marketing team who actually cares.
BrandUp is an outsourced marketing department for growing nonprofits. One senior team handling your ads, website, email, and strategy — all coordinated, one focus at a time.
We replace the patchwork of vendors who don't talk to each other. We get to know your mission and deliver results you can show your board.
All your marketing channels, finally in sync.
Every nonprofit's mission is different, so we start by learning yours.
Then we build around what you actually need — whether that's promoting an event, developing a program, or refreshing your look. Each piece builds on the last, nothing falls through the cracks, and your team doesn't feel overwhelmed.
You will work directly with our senior team members, who specialize in clear thinking and clean execution.
BrandUp is built for this.
BrandUp is not:
• Vendors who don't coordinate with (or even know) each other
• An ads guy billing you just to check a dashboard
• A web developer who can't get you on their schedule
• Strategy decks your team can’t execute
BrandUp is:
• One senior team working on your marketing month to month
• Ads, website, email, content — all working in concert
• One strategic focus per month so nothing stalls
• Execution included, not just advice
You're a good fit if :
• You're paying 2-3 vendors who don't talk and you're the middle man
• Your website updates take weeks to get done
• You need marketing help but can't justify a full-time hire
• Your revenue is $800K-$2M and you're ready to grow
The Brightstocking Mission

Hello Director, we’re Brightstocking!
Ashley Trexler and Beegee Tolpa bring decades of combined experience in business strategy, branding, revenue growth, and informed design for mission-driven organizations.
We built careers separately — Ashley in business development, Beegee in illustration and design — before realizing our strongest work happened together. (We even attended the same small private school and never met until adulthood.)
We don’t use tactics heavy on staff time.
We don’t apply the first generic template we see.
We build around you — your strategic plan, pressure points, and staff capacity.
For the win:
One flat monthly fee.
A dedicated team.
More than most agencies deliver.
It's what we do.
But don't just take our word for it

- UUCL Board of Directors
We already know...
You’re navigating approvals, board expectations, staff capacity, funding realities, and public perception — all at once. Every one of our team has worked alongside and inside nonprofits, and we know that daily grind makes it hard to focus on the big picture.
You’ve probably:
Gotten used to larger donations being feast or famine
Taken on job duties you never expected (hello, bathroom duty) while waiting months for project approval... only for the board to vote "not now"
Been told a another hire isn't in the cards, but your team needs help
Had fundraising begging for something (anything!) concrete to offer donors
Hired marketing, ads, or web development companies only to find their work is… meh
You need progress that works inside how your non-profit actually operates.
