This is Rupert.

“Oh, so this is Rupert,” you say. “But what is Rupert?” That's an excellent question. Rupert is a Seattle-based advertising agency with clients across the country. We do a whole lot of different things that can be broadly described as “storytelling” and “problem solving,” and we like to stick our noses into other people’s business. But it’s cool, because they ask us to. They’re like, “Hey, can you guys give us a hand with something?” And we’re like, “Totally. Sounds fun. Let's get started."

Please feel free to browse around, and if you see something you like, just let us know.

About Rupert

We might have mentioned this already, but it bears repeating: Rupert is an advertising agency. Of course, by “advertising agency” we mean that we apply creative thinkery to marketing problems. That might mean TV, radio or interactive advertising. Or perhaps website design. Maybe for you that means a new brand, logo or brochure. Direct mail? Why not? Maybe your problems could be solved through social marketing, guerrilla marketing or employing tiny monkeys to do your bidding. The point is, we’ll help you figure out what you need, and then we’ll figure out how to do it.

And we’ll have fun doing it too … as long as those
tiny monkeys behave.

Who is Rupert?

“Who is Rupert?” you ask, one eyebrow raised. We get that a lot. Short answer: Rupert is us. A team of curious and practical people who can be a bit nerdical.1 Rupert is a fun and challenging place to work. Rupert is a fake-moustache-wearing, smart-question-asking, creative-concept-thinking machine that runs on gushing praise and guava candies. But mostly, Rupert is a creative agency that loves to solve problems2 and make our clients happy.

Highland felt it was time its brand caught up with its company.

We wrote a Brand Platform to match its audience and philosophy.

A new name, a new logo and a new way to talk to the world. But we couldn’t have done it without Dale Lantz.
