Marie Kikvadze
Most organizations investing in ESG and CSR face the same gap: strong intent, weak delivery, and nobody to connect board-level commitments with real impact on the ground. Marie Kikvadze founded Upcomrise to solve exactly this.
Core Expertise
What We Do
We turn complex research and ideas into actionable strategies and measurable social outcomes across six core directions:
Our Vision
Our vision is to create an environment where decisions are based on solid evidence, and communication serves trust, inclusivity, and real social progress – Turning Insight into Impact.
How We Work
The UpComRise Engine
Every project follows the same four-phase methodology. Strategy is built on evidence. Implementation is full-cycle. Impact is measured and documented.
01
Audit
We start with evidence. Research, stakeholder analysis, and data build a clear picture of context, gaps, and opportunities before a strategy is designed.
02
Architect
We plan the path. Communication strategies, program frameworks, and action plans – built to be implemented, not just delivered.
03
Activate
We lead full implementation. Campaigns, events, training, and stakeholder engagement – managed full-cycle. One accountable partner.
04
Appraise
We measure results with discipline. Evaluation and impact reporting in line with donor standards and corporate ESG requirements.
Partners
Who We Serve
Designed for decision-makers who require more than a standard communications agency.
Corporations & ESG Teams
Banks, energy companies, and businesses with CSR commitments whose programs must be designed, implemented, and proven – not just reported.
International Donors
Donor-funded programs that require strategic communication, stakeholder engagement, and MEL that meets international standards.
NGOs & Civil Society
Organizations that need to translate complex policy or development work into campaigns that move people and influence decisions.
