Frequently Asked Questions
Considering an agency is a pretty big deal.
Here are some answers to common questions we've been asked as consultants.
What do you mean by "design campaigns"?
When we say we "design campaigns," we mean that we're defining what the campaign is actually doing, who it's for, how it should unfold, and what it needs to produce. We're making sure the campaign is clear and aligned so that your team can execute it without guessing.
What happens once the campaign is designed?
Once we're done designing the campaign, you share it with your team and move forward with its execution. Some clients bring us back in at key decision points as trusted comms partners. Others modify as they see fit with their teams. Either way, we follow up after the campaign to help get the metrics you need to measure success.
Does Umber + Onyx execute campaigns as well?
We often get this request from clients who love what we contribute during the design process. Our primary business model is to design modern, experiential campaigns. We don't execute the campaigns unless the client has a retainer with us and has a history of being a good fit with our organization.
Does Umber + Onyx work with individuals or just companies?
Both.
We work with organizations, leaders, and independent brands launching something significant. That could be a program, event, campaign, book, initiative, or major announcement.
The common thread is this: you are building something that needs to be thought through before it goes public.
Why shouldn't we use AI or hire an execution agency instead?
AI can help you produce faster. An execution agency can help you build more. We help you decide what should be built in the first place.
We sit at the beginning of the campaign ecosystem—before the content, rollout, or vendor handoff. Once we’ve done the architecture, your team can execute it, AI can support it, or another agency can bring it to life.
