About the Firm

A national firm built on
measurable outcomes.

Founded in 1997, Cormiq Marketing Group has advised some of the most consequential organizations in the United States on how to build their brand, reach their audience, and sustain their reputation.

Our Mission

Counsel that earns its keep — every engagement, every quarter.

We do not offer communications services as a commodity. We offer strategic partnership — the kind that requires us to understand your organization's objectives as thoroughly as you do, and to bring the discipline and market knowledge to translate those objectives into communications that move people.

Our work spans brand architecture for Fortune 500 companies repositioning for the next decade, government-facing campaigns that require navigating the intersection of public opinion and policy, and nonprofit communications that must compete for attention with vastly larger budgets.

In each case, the standard is the same: the work must produce a measurable shift. In perception, in behavior, in market position.

What We Stand For

Three principles that define
every engagement.

Precision over volume.

Every strategy we develop is specific to the client's situation, sector, and moment. We do not recycle playbooks. We do not offer generic solutions. Precision in diagnosis produces clarity in execution.

Integrity as operating standard.

We do not recommend campaigns we cannot defend. We do not build reputations on false premises. Long-term client relationships — our firm's 94% retention rate — are the direct result of counsel that prioritizes the client's actual interests over billable hours.

Impact as the only metric.

We measure our performance by what changes as a result of our work — in audience perception, market position, legislative outcome, or stakeholder alignment. Activity reports are not results. Outcomes are results.

not account managers.

Our senior leadership team brings an average of 22 years of direct-client experience across corporate, government, and nonprofit sectors.

From the Managing Principal
"The firms that hire us are not looking for more activity. They are looking for fewer, better decisions — and the discipline to execute them consistently. That is what we provide."
