Our Story

We’re The Utmost Group, a branding, marketing, and integrated marketing communications agency.

The Utmost Group purposefully operates as a virtual agency. This allows us to be significantly more cost efficient and nimble than traditional agencies. Our clients have consistently appreciated this for the past dozen years we’ve been in business.

Each Utmost project team is customized for the assignment. We work with an organic collection of subject matter experts who play well with others. This allows us to offer clients more wisdom, nimbleness, and speed than a traditional agency. There’s no overhead, and internal politics to slow things down, and drive up service fees.

We work best with clients who share our belief in strategic brand development. This characteristic distinguishes us from more trendy, tactically focused agencies, and studios. The digital world is constantly offering new

While our focus is with nonprofits, startups, and small businesses, we’ve also worked in more than 40 different categories over our careers. So, odds are, we’re more familiar with your needs than you might expect. Just ask us!

And we’re proudly based in Detroit.

Which BTW, is the second-best city in the world to visit in 2018, according to Lonely Planet:

There’s a new word that’s recently surfaced through the Lions football team that Detroit loves GRIT. While true, a visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts, Eastern Market, or the Scripps Conservatory on Belle Isle will let you experience three of the cultural gems we cherish. The same range of experiences can be found in restaurants, the local music scene, etc. If you come for a visit and are bored, we’ll argue that’s on you.  😊
