1UP Brand

Mark is by far the best branding and design partner you could ever work with! We started working together around 7 weeks ago and it’s been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first call, he understood my business, the goals, and the direction, and the branding he created completely blew me away. His support has been second to none.He’s a genuine guy with vast experience, and I’ve leaned on him for advice even beyond the original scope of work. We’ve built a real connection, and our collaboration has been seamless from the start. Thanks to his creativity, we now have a super strong brand identity and a clear vision for the next steps.What I value most is his honesty and straight-talking approach. He makes me feel in control, validates big decisions, but also isn’t afraid to say when something doesn’t look right. He’s stepped in to take the lead whenever I wasn’t available, always delivering detailed updates and showing real commitment and enthusiasm.On top of that, he’s seriously versatile. What began as branding and content has grown into him also building the website front end, and he’s delivered on all fronts. Nothing is too much trouble, and his support has been outstanding. I couldn’t recommend him more highly! I will continue using 1UP Brand for the foreseeable future. "

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Mark. I initially approached him to rename my business, but he quickly helped me see a much bigger vision for my brand. His insight, professionalism and attention to detail took me beyond my comfort zone in the best way.Mark didn’t just rebrand my business - he transformed how I see it. He provided clear resources and guidance, making the entire process smooth and seamless. Nothing was too much trouble and he always made sure I was happy at every step.Mark is an expert at what he does and I would recommend him over and over! "

Worked with Mark to create a professional logo for my business, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final product, the entire process was simple, collaborative, and I'm impressed with the results. I've also had compliments from my clients on the re-brand designs and I have recommended Mark to others and will be using the service again soon "

I hired Mark for a marketing project on the back of a strong recommendation from a trusted partner and he delivered, big time.From the start, it was clear he wasn’t just there to take a brief and tick boxes. He pushed my thinking, challenged my wild ideas, and helped me uncover the real vision and identity behind my brand, not just what I thought it was. He was incredibly patient as we went through iteration after iteration, always helping me get closer to what was in my head.Beyond being an expert in his craft (and clearly obsessed with branding - the man will talk logos all day!), Mark is just a really good human being. That mattered to me. I only want to work with good people first, skills second and with Mark, you get both.He’s also refreshingly direct. No fluff, no overpromising - just honest input and feedback, fast execution, and a genuine care for getting things right.I actually had a lot of fun on the journey and learned a bunch of cool stuff along the way. We’ll definitely be working together again.I’ve got a desk with a view and your name on it, Mark! "

Hi, I’m Tom Heron, The creator of take my words. Mark came to me highly recommended by my daughter. I initially wanted some guidance with marketing and branding. At our first meeting we agreed that although the website is quite simple, there were some functionality problems. Mark had some good ideas and I eventually went for a complete rebuild. Myself and my daughter met Mark in a cafe for the big reveal. I was astonished at what I saw. The level of creativity was way beyond my expectations. The finite little details, (added with pride not for profit) are astounding. I now have a website to be proud of. I will be working with Mark again in the very near future.I can't recommend him highly enough.Great job "
