ABOUT US

We’re not your average campus club. Scratch that, we’re not average – and we’re definitely not a club. We’re Orange Umbrella, a student-run, professionally-led ad agency turning classroom hustle into real-world muscle. Based at the University of Miami, we take on legit clients, tight deadlines and creative briefs that don’t come with training wheels. From strategy to execution, we do work that works, gets noticed and gets you hired. This is the ad world. Buckle up and prepare to take off with OU.

OUR VISION

By empowering the next generation of creators, innovators and leaders, Orange Umbrella's vision is to revolutionize experiential learning at the University of Miami and become the best student-run communication agency in the country.

Revolutionizing experiential learning

OUR MISSION

We walk the walk. We talk the talk.

We have curious minds, creative souls and empathetic hearts.

We are Orange Umbrella, a best-in-class (literally) student-run ad agency at the University of Miami. Our mission is to help purposeful businesses and brands connect with the next generation. We understand this audience because we are this audience.

We ask questions, craft sharp insights and color outside the lines. To us, orange is more than a color. It's a mindset. A way of creating that’s as bold as the color itself.

At Orange Umbrella, we don’t just wear it. We embody it.

OUR VALUES

  • Passion is in our DNA. It flows far beyond the walls of our agency, fueling every project and challenge we take on. Ambition to do better is our pulse – and we never skip a beat.

  • Safe ideas never made anyone look twice. We thrive on creating work that breaks boundaries and demands attention. By embracing the unexpected, we deliver results that contrast from any background.

  • Bravery starts with one, but boldness is the strength of a team. We constantly collaborate and stand united. Together, we amplify each other’s voices, having each other’s backs every step of the way.

  • We harness the enthusiastic energy of students and the proactive polish of professionals. Just because we’re young, doesn’t mean we don’t mean business — with a little edge.

  • Great ideas begin with a thought, a spark. We always seek to learn, grow and adapt by asking questions — digging deep to pursue true understanding of our brands and audiences. We turn sparks into flames.

  • Empathy is our lens, and it leads our way. We listen as closely to each other as we do to our clients and their audiences — because real connection starts from the inside out. People come first.
