A small studio
for D2C founders
In a world full of agencies that sound the same, Bumbee builds the store, the brand, and the engine that runs them. Three operators, real work, slow on purpose.
“Honest swaps for everyday good.”
“Pollinate. Build. Ship.”

Three operators. Four ways of working — brand, store, paid, creative. One way of running them: slow enough to think, fast enough to ship, small enough that the person you talked to last week is the one doing the work today.
We came up inside Oli & Hue because the founders we kept meeting needed marketing as much as they needed product. Bumbee is the marketing arm of that family — the same standard of finish, the same allergy to shortcuts, the same opinion about what good looks like.
Three operators. One way of working.
Adithya
Sets the look, feel and finish of every Bumbee project. Decides what each brand looks like, reads like, and behaves like before a single pixel ships — from logo systems and packaging to the way a homepage scrolls.
Anjal
Builds the actual stores. Custom Shopify themes, hand-coded sections, checkout, page speed, server-side tracking — the layer underneath that decides whether the brand actually converts. The reason your storefront stays fast at 3 a.m. when an ad spike hits.
Vysakh
Owns the brand's positioning and voice. Naming, messaging, manifesto and the elevator pitch — and every line of copy that ships from us, after we've argued about it three times. Decides what the brand is allowed to sound like.
Six principles we won’t negotiate on.
- 01
Senior team, no junior hand-offs.
The person you talk to is the person doing the work. No SDRs, no account managers, no overseas chain.
- 02
We don't sell from a menu.
We start from your reality — what you sell, who buys it, what winning looks like — and choose only the work that compounds toward it.
- 03
Custom by default. Templates only when honest.
Every brand gets work designed for it, not lifted from a deck. When something is templatable, we'll say so before we charge for it.
- 04
Ship in weeks, not quarters.
Most agencies confuse cadence with care. We move fast because slow is what kills founder-stage brands, not what protects them.
- 05
Outcomes over outputs.
We report against contribution margin, not vanity ROAS. If a number doesn't tie back to revenue or learning, it doesn't make the deck.
- 06
Honest about what doesn't work.
We tell you when a channel won't pay back, when a test failed, when scope is wrong. Trust beats velocity.
Part of Oli & Hue.
Bumbee is the marketing arm of Oli & Hue — a product, design and engineering studio. When a brief spills past marketing into product or platform, the same senior team picks it up. One partner, one invoice, no vendor ping-pong.
