Founder & CEO
Upstream Agency is a home-services marketing firm based in Southington, Connecticut.
Editorial
Editor’s take
This is a music management and artist representation company, not a home-services marketing agency. The site showcases artist clients (Robotaki, Manu Dia), tour production, and music releases. There is no home-services vertical positioning, marketing services, or B2B client work visible. This appears to be a category mismatch.
What they do
Services
Artist Management
Day-to-day career management for a small roster of electronic and alternative artists, covering release strategy, label relationships, and long-term positioning. Not applicable to damage-restoration contractors.
Artist Development
Pairing emerging acts with established producers and songwriters to build out a sonic identity and release pipeline, as with the Mont Duamel project developed alongside Mathieu Jomphe Lepine. Not a home-services offering.
Tour Production and Creative Direction
Designing and transporting lighting rigs and stage production for headline tours, working alongside partners like Multiverse Productions on Robotaki's North American run. Unrelated to restoration marketing.
Sync Licensing
Placing artist catalog into film and television, including a Showtime 2020 sizzle reel placement for Manu Dia's 'Stranger.' Not a service offered to restoration firms.
Label and Imprint Partnerships
Brokering releases through established electronic imprints such as Odesza's Foreign Family Collective and TOKiMONSTA's Young Art. Not relevant to the damage-restoration niche.
