Under My Umbrella, Inc

Under My Umbrella (UMU) is the creation of the personable & talented Amanda Corby; Amanda started her career in film production while simultaneously volunteering for several non-​profit organizations. After incessant inquires from a friend who ran a non-​profit for Special Olympics Hawaii, Amanda (a recent college graduate) jumped at the opportunity for a full-​time job & an office of her own. After 4 years working as Special Olympics Hawaii’s marketing manager, Amanda realized she wanted to help other non-​profit organizations grow, which inspired her to start her own business.
Under My Umbrella was initially located in the Manoa Maketplace & relocated to their new home in the heart of Kaka’ako; Amanda decided to move their office in this neighborhood to be closer to their sister company: Taste Table (a permanent pop-​up with a variety of rotating food vendors who showcase their culinary skills). This move also helped to create the sense a community for the staff, since most of UMU’s clients are in the downtown area.
Under My Umbrella is a wonderful example of a public relations, marketing & events company that’s mastered the balance between helping start-​up businesses & working with larger clients. UMU is proof that exceeding your client’s expectations & continuing not to compromise their sustainability beliefs produces results (PROOF: UMU rarely seeks out their clients because companies are impressed with their creativity & collective work experience).
Some of Under My Umbrella’s short-​term goals include completing their taxes on time, organizing the layout of their office & getting their staff adjusted to their new environment. Under My Umbrella is focused on supporting the local businesses in their area & eventually growing their company to be a national brand; UMU would like to share the concept of building communities around chefs & farmers with the rest of the world.
I’m anxious awaiting the wonderful things Under My Umbrella has planned for the rest of 2013 & I’m positive they’ll continue to take Kaka’ako by storm. Be sure to follow Under My Umbrella on your social networks to witness their continuous growth as a small business & if you’re interested in improving your companies’ public relations & marketing or need help with an event, look no further than Under My Umbrella.

Great company!
