About MONO
Founded in 2004 by Jim Scott, Michael Hart and Chris Lange, MONO is an advertising agency with offices in Minneapolis and San Francisco. Its work also spans Branding & Identity and Strategy.
MONO is a well-regarded independent creative agency (founded 2004) with offices in Minneapolis and San Francisco, combining design, advertising and brand strategy to build modern brands. It has long held a strong reputation in the design-and-advertising world for clean, smart, contemporary work, the kind of independent that consistently produces above its size.
The strength is that design-led creative credibility paired with independence and a coast-to-Midwest footprint, a shop that competes on the quality and modernity of its thinking. The trade-off is the independent's familiar one: scale versus the networks. For a brand that wants sharp, design-forward creative from a respected independent with genuine craft pedigree, MONO is a reliably strong option.
