Upload Partners Relocates to 64,000-Square-Foot Kenosha Innovation Center

Q: With the old manufacturing site becoming a modern startup hub, how many actual jobs is this creative agency bringing to the community?

The move appears to bring a small but growing number of jobs, not a large new employment wave. Neither the announcement from Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood nor the additional material gives a headcount for Upload Partners’ relocation. What is clear is that the company is already Kenosha-based, so this is mainly a move from one local address to another rather than a brand-new employer entering the market. The best evidence in the provided material points to a modest team expansion. Upload Partners describes itself as a “fast-growing team,” and the additional content shows at least one active full-time hiring push for an Account Executive or similar client-facing role in Kenosha, with a listed salary range of $60,000 to $80,000. That suggests at least one direct opening tied to its growth, but it does not establish a larger verified job total. So, based on the available facts, the agency is bringing occupancy and some incremental hiring momentum to the innovation center, but no publicly documented figure shows a significant number of new jobs. If community leaders want to quantify the economic impact, the missing number is Upload Partners’ current employee count and how many net new positions it plans to add after the move.

Upload Partners, a Kenosha creative marketing firm founded in 2019, will move from 9550 58th Place to the Kenosha Innovation Center, Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood Inc. said.
The company offers live streaming, videography, photography, remote production, podcast, audio and IT services, and the move places it inside a hub built for flexible office space, coworking and collaboration.
The 64,000-square-foot center at 5522 26th Ave. opened last year as the anchor of the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood and already houses tenants including Kivi Bio, M3 Insurance, Carthage College and UW-Parkside.
That neighborhood is being developed on the 107-acre former American Motors and Chrysler engine plant site, which shut down in 2010, as Kenosha seeks to build a regional base for startups and established companies.
