About
Business problems aren't solved with creativity. Creativity is subjective. That's why we dive deep in each brand to understand its inner workings in order to create, disrupt, and take market share from those who refuse to do the work.
The first step in elevating a brand is willingness to dive beneath the surface. It takes courage and commitment, but we don’t embark on this journey alone.
We invite your team to be an integrated part of ours, assuming the role of creative,
strategist, and brand champion, as we navigate deep into uncharted waters. We rely on our clients as partners to be engaged in the process from concept to execution. We use their insight in addition to segmentation data, like-industry data, competitive data, and consumer behavior to shape our creative and media strategies. It’s important to us to set those standards ahead of time. To assume anyone has the immediate answer or formula is a disservice to any brand or partner.
In the end, our drive matches yours. Your success determines ours.
That’s our Squid Pro Quo™.

Miles Marmo
Co-Founder
A has-been professional athlete, Miles moved on to create a career in digital communication. He quickly saw the need to break down silos and connect messaging. Miles has led these initiatives within agencies and brands alike to achieve results across industries, including Mike’s Hard Lemonade’s 100% digital advertising strategy. While there, he implemented digital and integrated strategies that resulted in brand sales going from under 20MM cases to upwards of 28MM across the portfolio. Prior to Squid, he worked with Mystic Lake, Canterbury Downs, Chevrolet, Toyota, and TCF Bank. He’s taken that experience and brought it to Agency Squid to help brands across industries take a better strategic approach. When he’s not integrating marketing plans for clients, he can be found serving as the board chair for the Advertising Federation of Minnesota.
