About Us

What makes Misnomer Unique?

Our Experience

With over 20 years of marketing experience, we have have been hands-on with clients and organizations of various size and stage. 

We have helped new organizations launch for the first time, as well as established companies rebrand and/or expand their competitive edge.

We believe that every brand is unique – so we don’t take any cookie-cutter approach to building out marketing strategy. It’s also where our diverse experience sets us apart from the competition. 

We have been leaders in developing “Foundational Marketing” strategies that drive success, starting from the birth of new companies that as themselves “who are we as an organization?”.

Our Passion

We have heard it before – most organizational leaders resist marketing consultants and agencies because they don’t share the same hunger to achieve results.

Given our agency and organizational marketing experience, we can appreciate this mindset, and caring about the success of our clients business is one of our core pillars. 

This is also why we only take on a limited number of clients at a time. We want to give them each the attention the deserve!

We stop at nothing

There is a reason why we don’t do hourly engagements: it creates a built-in deadline to achieve success. We believe in completing projects when they are fully complete – not when the clock runs out. 

We Love To Learn

The world or marketing changes almost daily, and we stay at the forefront of these changes, so that we can ensure our clients are always in the know. From cookie policy changes to beta tests, we are ready to take action!

We Take It Step-By-Step

We don’t jump right in, just to splash around looking for where to go. We are methodical in our decision making and how we approach every engagement. There is a reason behind everything we do, and we can clearly articulate it too!

We Keep It Simple

We may be the marketing experts, but our clients are not. That is why we create easy to understand proposals, dashboards, and reporting tools – so our clients can stay informed of our progress, without being overwhelmed with data. 

Your Dream. Our Mission.

We Believe In Hard Work And Dedication

Our business has only grown through referrals and word of mouth, so that’s why we let our work (and the relationships we have built) do all the “selling” for us. 

This is also why we go above and beyond for our clients – as their success will ultimately be our success. (It’s amazing how few agencies actually grasp this concept!)

Because when you are so focused on your clients, who has time to “fake pose” for pictures?
