Why "Umbrellas
on the Beach"?
An umbrella doesn't change the environment around you.
It just makes the experience a whole lot better.
That's how we think about our role. Our clients often work in complex, fast-moving environments with tight timelines, competing priorities and a lot of important details to get right.
We help bring clarity to the work, ease to the process and the delight of great creative—resulting in a better experience for everyone involved.
Our name is lighthearted, but we're serious about the work we deliver.
Who we are
Umbrellas on the Beach is an independent creative marketing agency founded in 1998.
Our independence gives us the freedom to create a more positive place for creative work to happen, with less friction, more flexibility and room for strong ideas to take shape.
We care just as much about the experience of working together as we do about the work itself.
Some of the clients we've worked with include:
Our agency model
Our work is led by nimble, senior teams who stay closely involved as each assignment evolves.
We build the team around the work, bringing in the right expertise across medical writing, development, video, production and other specialties when needed.
The result is a flexible model with fewer handoffs, direct access to experienced people and greater continuity from start to finish.
