Manchester, UK. July 21st 2025 – Manchester-based digital agency MadeByShape has unveiled the launch of a complete rebrand and website transformation for internationally acclaimed search-first agency Rise at Seven.
Appointed for the scale and calibre of their creative and technical expertise, MadeByShape was selected to reposition Rise at Seven’s brand, rebuild their website from the ground up, and craft a new vision aligned with the future of search, social, and AI-led content marketing.
Founded in 2019, Rise at Seven has rapidly built a global reputation for creative search campaigns, with offices in Manchester, Sheffield, London, and New York. As the agency expanded and matured, it became clear that its digital presence no longer reflected its category leadership or cultural impact, with Carrie Rose admitting on LinkedIn to “building the old [web]site in my front room”.
Award-winning web design agency MadeByShape delivered a full suite of creative and technical services including brand repositioning and strategy, UX/UI-led website design and build, and complete redesign of the logo, colour system, typefaces, and tone of voice. This came with additional material including presentation and social deck designs, new showreel production and social media support, and behind-the-scenes content.
Rise at Seven’s new brand identity reflects its evolution into a search-first content marketing agency, focused on helping clients dominate entire categories across all searchable platforms. With SEO now serving not just websites, but algorithms across search, social, media, and retail, the rebrand was designed to pioneer a bold new proposition.
Andy Golpys, Co-Founder of MadeByShape, said:
“This was one of the biggest launches we’ve done for another agency. It’s always an honour when someone in your own industry trusts you with their brand. Carrie and the team were clear on where they’re going, and we made sure their visuals and digital experience matched that ambition.”
The project began with a candid conversation where Andy suggested the Rise at Seven website was falling short of the agency’s true capabilities. From that moment, a creative collaboration sparked out of honesty, mutual respect, and a shared love of design that drives results. Andy added:
“Rise dominate on social and have one of the most admired cultures in our industry, but their old website didn’t do them justice. It’s not just about looking good; they have to make the right first impression every time to build trust.”
The newly launched site has already received praise across LinkedIn and industry circles, with a full case study set to be released in the coming weeks.
This collaboration marks another milestone for MadeByShape as the agency grows its portfolio of high-profile design and development projects while continuing to collaborate with inspiring businesses of all sizes.
