Profile

History. In April 2003, Fifth and Missing Media Group was established as a high-end creative boutique specializing in professional print & web design services. The purpose of Fifth and Missing was to provide higher quality design services then what was currently being produced by other graphic and web design studios. Our goal was to usher in a new, highly creative environment that stimulated the imaginations of both client and designer – and to establish lasting relationships with suppliers and clients alike that would ultimately promote growth on all fronts.

While we’ve grown exponentially as a company over the years, our objectives today have remained unchanged. We accomplish our goals by placing extremely high standards on all of the work we (and our suppliers) produce, yet at the same time ensuring the process is an enjoyable one for the client and ourselves.

Simply put, we love what we do. And it shows.

Reach. Fifth and Missing is a recognized advertising agency with clients from Toronto to California and Rebstein to London in industries from healthcare to automotive parts, loose leaf teas to recording studios and banks to book publishers. Please see our Clients page for more details.

Name.

The “Fifth”.

Manhattan's 5th Avenue is rumoured to be the most expensive street in the world. Gucci, Prada, Saks and Trump Tower line its sidewalks. The Empire State Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral call it home. The stores and boutiques you’ll find there require a high level of advertising and design prowess to maintain their status quo. 5th Avenue businesses are commercial powerhouses and they insist on only the best quality design provided by the who’s who in the advertising world. And they insist on offering the best quality products to those willing to pay top dollar.

The “Missing”.

As a business, imagine removing the astounding cost that those 5th Avenue businesses pay for their advertising. Imagine removing the red tape and the time spent managing multiple suppliers.

As a consumer, imagine what it would be like not having to pay astounding prices for quality, high-end products and services. Imagine no ambitious sales people, line ups or pressure.

Imagine have everything Fifth with everything Missing.

Fifth + Missing.

If one were to look a little closer along Manhattan’s 5th Avenue, beyond the suits and facades, tucked away in the shadows is something unique. At an out-of-the-way intersection, on the backend of the 5th stretch where the traffic is as heavy as the personalities are vibrant, you'll come across a small building that looks a little different. No lineups, no pushy salespeople, no red tape, no over-priced products. Missing is everything 5th. It's unique and colourful and creative and friendly. The walls are orange and the windows are open. This is where you'll find us. At the corner of Fifth & Missing.

Welcome to the best part of town.

Testimonials

We had a number of environmental projects to be advertised county-wide. fifth + missing worked with us to create awareness pieces that resonated with a wide user demographic – which is exactly what we were looking for. They worked with us every step of the way, and their attention to detail even on the smaller items showed their professionalism and understanding of our projects. We were extremely pleased with our final designs which far exceeded the look of similar pieces used by other Counties and Municipalities. Thanks fifth + missing for your great work and we’ll certainly be back to work with you on future campaigns. Nicole Mundy, Waste Management Supervisor. Haldimand County.

We contacted fifth + missing after receiving one of their promotional pieces. We were impressed with their originality and contacted them to help us with our corporate image and marketing material. They started with business cards and sell sheets and then designed a tradeshow booth in the same theme. Their attention to detail, even on the smaller items, shows their professionalism and understanding of our requirements. They’ve also been available on short notice to do other work. We are pleased to have a one-stop-shop that can provide a comprehensive range of services. We certainly recommend fifth + missing to anyone looking for great ideas and excellent service. Jim Fleming, Operations Manager. Inventure Engineering.

We have worked with fifth + missing on a variety of projects over the years, so it was natural to approach them with the challenge of designing and coordinating distribution of our new national flyer. They met the challenge. On time and on budget! The design presented was perfect and their ability to handle all aspects of the job certainly saved us a lot of time. We are very happy with the results and will continue to work with fifth + missing as we continue with this new and extremely successful project. Reid Ferguson, Vice President. Auto Sense Auto Parts.

I want to thank you and your team for the great work you did in developing our website and producing a logo design for us. You were patient through the entire process and helped us accomplish our objectives. Your technical and design skills are awesome and we are very happy with the final product. We will be back to do more business as we develop more online applications and rely on you for more graphical design work. Thanks a lot! Ted Hodge, President. CCI Research

fifth + missing undertook a complete redesign of our corporate branding; when customers complemented us on the new look we knew a great job had been done! The concept development was straight forward, the service excellent and fantastic value too. Fifth + Missing will get all our design work for the foreseeable future; why would we want to go anywhere else?! Asa Cox, Business Development Director. ICE Pharma Group.

Every time we have needed them, fifth + missing has been able to produce work that perfectly fits the message that we are trying to communicate. Incredibly easy to work with, fifth + missing has been flexible even when we have had to repeatedly change aspects of the design or make last minute adjustments. Always delighted at the end result, I would highly recommend the work of fifth + missing to any requiring design work. Elissa Brinkerhoff, Administrator. CYC Resource.

Fifth + missing has provided outstanding graphic and web support and their range of graphic design, web development and promotional materials is impressive. After having them develop our website, logo, and a number of marketing materials, we hired them to develop a web-based database. They will continue to be our one-stop shop for all of our graphic and web needs. James Flint, President. Agape in Action.

Well priced, highly astute and versatile creative services that we will continue to use. fifth + missing transformed our ideas into communication on several sensitive projects with results better than anticipated. Their attention to detail and ability to take scraps of project information and turn them into highly competitive marketing tools will keep us coming back again and again. We recommend their services on a full range of projects including brand development to web content. Joy K. Stewart, Marketing & Business Development. Congress Financial of Canada/Wachovia.

We were, at first, reluctant to move our print & web design work to fifth + missing from another agency that we had developed a good relationship with over a number of years. We knew, however, that we needed to freshen and update our corporate image and that the “old” company we were using were responding to our creative ideas – instead of us responding to their ideas. Our presentation was in a bit of a rut. We tried fifth + missing on a small brochure project and it was immediately apparent that we were dealing with a different class of mind and quality workmanship. The new image they proposed resonated with our particular marketplace and we were very pleased with their ideas. Needless to say, fifth + missing has been handling all our print and web design work ever since and the results of that involvement are there for everyone to view. Further, I might add, the company does what they say they will do and they charge what they say they will charge. From the all important price standpoint, I consider their prices very competitive indeed. Alan Hack, V.P. Career Marketing Specialists (CMS).

I recently hired fifth + missing to design my new logo and business cards. They managed to perfectly capture my company image, and brought it to the next level. The amount of positive feedback I've had from clients is overwhelming! This is absolutely top notch work. I highly recommend fifth + missing for any design work. Patrick Hodgson, Producer/Engineer. pH Sound
