Upstream 360

Upstream 360 Upstream360 is a product communication company where science and storytelling unite.

We believe every product has a unique hook—the thing that makes it instantly stand out and sell itself. We call it the 3 Second WOW—your product’s elevator pitch that makes it magically alluring, instantly understood, and impossible to ignore. Backed by our Cincinnati-based Curiously Nerdy Network of creatives, scientists, strategists, and marketers, we explore every angle of your product to craft the best story possible so you sell smarter, faster, and with more impact.
