Misty Buck President of Miss Ink Digital

Misty Buck

President & Founder

“When I created Miss Ink in 2008, I knew I wanted to provide something different to Miami’s small business community. I had worked with agencies where there was a major disconnect between the service being provided and the client’s in-house culture. My goal from the onset was to create a boutique agency that feels like an in-house extension of your team. One Team. One Family. That’s Miss Ink.”

Misty Buck founded Miss Ink, LLC, a boutique social media and content marketing firm, in January 2008 in order to help businesses take the stress out of digital marketing. Her passion is fusing creativity and strategy to tell each client’s unique story. She is regularly invited to speak on social media best practices and provides social media consulting for individuals and companies to help guide them through marketing deficiencies. Misty serves on the Board of Directors of the Kennedy Kids Foundation, and regularly volunteers to speak to community groups about mental health and wellness. An avid writer and wellness activist, Misty achieved her dream of authoring a book in 2020 with the publication of the Athlete Mental Health Playbook and in 2023 with the publication of the Athlete Branding Blueprint.

Throughout her career, she has earned several accolades. In 2013 she was honored as a Top Entrepreneur in South Florida by Business Leader magazine. Under her leadership, Miss Ink was voted a Top 3 Internet Marketing Company in the Daily Business Review’s Best of Awards in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 putting the digital marketing agency in the Hall of Fame category.
