Empathy not ego

Empathy Not Ego

Marketing gets a bad rap. It can be heartless, soulless and quite honestly damaging. But we’re here to flip the script and remove ego from everything.

The world we want to live in is one where empathy takes the precedent over ego. That’s why we prefer to work with people and businesses with a clear purpose, provide quality products and services to their customers, and who understand impact.

What does quality mean? It means products and services that are not detrimental to people or the planet.

Christina Cannes,
Growth & Brand Specialist

Christina Cannes,
Growth & Brand Strategist

Your brand is the soul of your business and your most valuable asset.

My goal is to discover your product and service’s unique attributes and align those aspects with the needs of your customer.

With almost two decades of experience in media, marketing and innovation, I can run the gauntlet from startup to FORTUNE500.

I have scaled startups from $0 to seven figures, turned companies inside out to communicate value and differentiators, and have worked on both the front lines and behind-the-scenes to intimately understand what makes a remarkable customer experience and unbeatable brand.

Please contact me with any questions and I look forward to working with you!

What does Umgum mean?

What does Umgum mean?

Umgum is short for Ummagumma—the fourth album by English rock band Pink Floyd. As a long-time Floyd fan, I needed a word I loved that I could turn into an SEO singularity. I shortened Ummagumma to umgum and that’s where the name comes from!

Why Umgum?

Why Umgum?

We don’t make assumptions.

We ask you and your customers questions to discover the objective truth.

We don’t apply the same formula to every brand.

We base our strategy on your analytics, market research and differentiators.

→ We like to work with businesses that take responsibility.

Oftentimes, the reason for an effect can be discovered by investigating the cause rather than placing blame without data. 

→ We love working with brands that understand impact.

And want to maximise it. Even if you don’t have an impact yet, we’re happy to help you develop a vision, mission and purpose statement with metrics. 

→ We love partnerships.

We love to collaborate with businesses, artists and not-for-profits to create campaigns.

Content should be quality, not quantity.

We create value—not just another post, blog, video, etc

We do great work!

And love what we do.

→ Our goal is to constantly discover what brings us together.

A great brand unites.

→ We are inclusive, accepting, honest and authentic. 

Cause why wouldn’t we be?

We actively minimise any negative impact on our environment

And like to work with clients who do too. 

Life is short and should be fun.

We live it to the fullest.
