The Challenge
Does this sound familiar?
- A critical role is open and the pressure to fill it is mounting.
- You’ve been through a search before, and come up with the wrong person.
- You don’t have the bandwidth to do this search effectively on your own.
- You know the cost of getting it wrong. You can’t afford to.
The cost of a failed senior marketing hire isn’t just a setback.
It’s a $300K–$2.5M disruption to your team, your pipeline, and your momentum.
What you need isn’t more résumés. You need the right person. MICA finds them.
Why MICA
We’ve done the work we recruit for.
Every MICA-retained search is led by a C-suite marketing professional who has sat in the seat you’re trying to fill — or managed someone who did. We don’t hand off the day-to-day work to a junior associate. We offer gold-standard service from one of our partners from start to finish, and that practitioner expertise is what separates a MICA search from every other option on the table.
Your strategy, our effort
We take the heavy lifting off your plate and only involve your team when candidates are vetted and viable.
01
Rigor, from start to finish
We evaluate leaders the way a peer would — knowing the difference from truly great to just great on paper
02
A network, not a database
Our candidates are part of a curated network of marketing colleagues developed through years of working side by side in the industry.
03
Guaranteed.
If a MICA placement doesn’t work out within the guarantee period, we redo the search — at no additional cost. We stand behind every placement because the rigor of our process earns it.
04
This isn’t a cost. It’s an investment.
Retaining MICA means putting the right person in the right seat, positioned to deliver impact from day one. Organizations that see leadership as an investment, not a line item to minimize, are the ones that get it right.
Confident clients don’t just feel relieved after a MICA placement. They feel proud of the decision that got them there.
We guarantee the outcome.
We guarantee the placement. If the placement doesn’t work out, we go back to work, at no additional cost to you.
We can make this guarantee because, since our inception in 2011,
we have only had to conduct two replacement searches
Working with MICA de-risks one of the most consequential decisions your organization will make. This isn’t a safety net. It’s a statement about how confident we are in the work.
