Communications with heart, for impact with purpose.

Sumi Communications was born from the desire to do meaningful work with good people. We’re Su and Umay, (storytellers, strategists, and) proud co-founders who met while working at an agency, where we first began to question what kind of work really lit us up. It didn’t take long for us to realize that our best work happened when we truly cared about the people and projects in front of us. With experience spanning from global brands to grassroots campaigns, we’ve seen how intentional storytelling can shift narratives, move communities, and build trust. We started Sumi so we could do more of that — in our own way, with heart, humor, and a steady stream of baked goods and bold ideas.

What we’re here for

We started Sumi to work with people who care — because we care too. Our mission is to help changemakers, community-builders, and creative disruptors communicate with intention. Through strategic thinking and thoughtful execution, we help teams reach the right people, grow with purpose, and create lasting impact.

What we believe in

We believe good work starts from the inside out, from values you truly live by. We care deeply about building a future rooted in equity, inclusivity, and joy. That’s why our work is grounded in care: for the people we work with, the communities they serve, and the change they’re working toward.

We love what we do, and we bring our full selves into it — often
becoming not just collaborators, but teammates and friends.

This work is personal for us. We’re here to amplify the
voices and ideas that are building a better world.
