No Joke Marketing

The story of No Joke Marketing is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and the power of seeing an opportunity where others don't. It all began in 1999, not in a boardroom, but in a public library. A 15-year-old Michael Tasner, long before becoming the CEO and Founder, recognized the burgeoning potential of the internet. At a time when personal computers were a luxury and web design was a nascent skill, Michael dedicated his time to learning the craft. His very first client was his parents' tax lady, and with that, MST Designs (Michael Scott Tasner) was born. This early venture wasn't just a hobby; it was the financial engine that powered him through his studies in marketing and entrepreneurship at Bradley University. A branding course inspired a name change to Taz Solutions, and the company continued to flourish, reaching a million dollars in annual revenue.

Michael's journey didn't stop there. His deepening expertise in marketing led him to author the best-selling book 'Marketing In The Moment,' where he presciently introduced concepts like Web 3.0 Marketing. This achievement propelled him into the marketing elite, even leading to a collaboration with the legendary Jay Levinson, author of 'Guerilla Marketing.' After the successful sale of Taz Solutions, Michael embarked on his next chapter, founding No Joke Marketing in 2014. The name itself is a declaration of intent: to provide serious, data-backed marketing strategies that deliver tangible results. The company has carved out a niche for itself, specializing in helping multi-million-dollar businesses across the United States and Canada, with a particular focus on the child care industry. No Joke Marketing prides itself on being more than just an agency; it aims to be a strategic partner, deeply invested in the long-term growth and success of its clients. Their approach is rooted in core values like 'Generational Impact,' 'Lifelong Learners,' and 'We Act Like Owners,' ensuring a commitment to excellence and a forward-thinking vision.
