Guildford, UKDPC+UP are a cloud based digital marketing agency that helps businesses embrace technology. We set up the business so people can choose to work remotely, to come into our studio, so that everyone gets a genuine work/life balance... This has nurtured an amazing environment, where talent flourishes, and our clients get the very best work from us.
DPC+UP was always intended to be a little different from most traditional agencies.
Flexibility, and adapting to people’s different circumstances is key to creating the ultimate environment… We wanted to create an agency where people can choose to work from home or our studio. A place where people enjoy a healthy work/life balance. We spent years travelling to and from offices in various trendy (and not-so-trendy) locations. It was time to work smarter and “presenteeism” is now well and truly absent.
The core of our team is made up of regular employees, as well as a number of “members”, talented individuals who want to run their own 1-person businesses but also want to be a part of a bigger team.
Because of our flexible structure, we get to cherry pick the very best talent. Everyone chooses how they want to work. And even more importantly, they get to work on the elements that they adore. DPC+UP is now a hugely successful, boutique agency who have recently been acquired by global cloud agency UP THERE, EVERYWHERE.
UP shares many of the same values. Which means we have even more talented teams and individuals! Everyone bought into the business, with no staff turn over. Just the best in class individuals for a smörgåsbord of skills.
We have designed and built a wide variety of successful stores, a small selection of examples are listed below:
Microbarbox, cocktail gift boxes and subscription box: https://www.microbarbox.com/
Eyelash Emporium, Russian XD lashes: https://www.eyelashemporium.com/

We have been building eCommerce stores for years, and we love using platforms and technologies that are stable, reliable, and scalable.
We have a well documented and proven process for designing and building successful stores. We spend a lot of time at the planning, IA/wireframe/prototype stage to ensure we get the structure and functionality agreed before we dive into the UI design and development.
We tend to rely on four main platforms:
Nopcommerce - a .NET enterprise level ecommerce platform, a great alternative to magento.
Ucommerce - a flexible ecommerce solution used within Umbraco
Shopify and Shopify Plus - a great entry level hosted solution
Woocommerce - the default shopping basket solution for WordPress sites
When the MicroBarBox team approached DPC+UP it was just an idea. The directors needed an agency to help them build their brand, their products and their ecommerce solution. And then help them market the new concept to the UK. We were asked to help the start-up develop: Their brand Their packaging Their e-commerce solution Their advertising and marketing creative Manage their Social Media Manage their Adwords
View projectOriginally a brand favoured by film technicians and professional make up artists. Given the incredible quality, they became a fast favourite with consumers, worldwide. Due to the success of sales, The Eyelash Emporium came to DPC back in 2012, looking for an online store. They needed a shop integration that would allow them to manage their Orders, Stock levels, Global shipping, Professional course bookings, all while staying on brand, and a system easy for their team to use.

Rokers as a suite of companies own a number of businesses, all based near Guildford, Surrey. It has a wide variety of businesses but the main revenues come from the pet store animal feed business. Plus Pets is their online retail brand.
