How did this happen?

Josh Berthume founded Rogue Metrics as an occasional consulting concern in 2010, not long before he founded Swash Labs, a fully-integrated advertising, creative, and communications agency.

Sometimes clients had problems that did not fall precisely within the bounds of advertising, and that work would end up in Josh's hands alone. After a while, it seemed like a good idea to turn that work into a big idea, and to invite a few of his highly qualified, incredibly experienced friends along for the ride. Since 2016, Rogue Metrics has tackled big problems with big thinking, from political risk to disinformation.

We're glad you're here. Let's get to work.
