Moncur is rebranding and expanding its presence across the U.S.
The Southfield-based branding agency has been known as Moncur Associates for its 22 years until it dropped the latter part of its name this month. Moncur is also opening satellite offices in Miami and Austin.
"There is a lot of stability that comes with geographic expansion and a lot of growth opportunity," says David Moncur, principal of
Moncur. "By my estimation Austin is the next Silicon Valley."
Moncur handles the digital and social media branding for the likes of
Lear,
Layne,
Discovery Channel, the University of Michigan,
Art Van, and the
Detroit Institute of Arts. It’s revenue is up 50 percent over the last year and the company is on track to do it again.
The company has hired six people over the last year, primarily in creative and technical positions. Moncur currently has a staff of 27 employees and one intern. It also has four open positions for technical and creative staffers, including a director of digital marketing.
Moncur is looking to keep going by focusing on customers in the Metro Detroit, Miami and Austin markets over the next year. However, Moncur expects most of the growth to take place at its Southfield headquarters.
"That has never happened to us in our company’s history," Moncur says. "It's an exciting ride."
