What we Provide

Skiprock is a full-service creative and design agency focused on partnering with UN development agencies, NGOs, non-profits, and general all around heroes of the planet.

We provide valuable creative insights and guidance for our clients, most often starting before the creative projects are even determined. We find our value is most utilized by being present with our clients early on and often – many times consulting as a stand-in communications or creative director for those clients who don't have staff dedicated to these roles.

For clients with a full creative staff, we often act as project or mission-based consultants. We arrive early to discuss the vision, the objectives of the project, and the measurable outcomes – ending with the best possible creative plan.

Skiprock provides its clients with a full service creative team of over 100 creative professionals. Our services include graphic design, publication layout (in all UN languages - and more), animation, illustration, photography, film & video, illustration, web design & development, logo design, event design and creative, and overall creative project consulting to help our clients launch projects successfully.

Creative

Effective, joyful, and engaging creative. We provide creative planning and strategy for our client's projects and events and help them align the results around their overall strategic goals of their organization.

Our goal is to provide value, insights, and delightful creative to each client interaction.

Culture

The culture of Skiprock is what we call 'serious fun.'

It is our dedication to engaging with our clients,
