Minor non conformity

if a minor non conformity is found with the scope of the ISO 27001 certificate, can the company still market/advertise they hold the certificate?

Answer: Yes. A minor non conformity does not represent a failure in the Information Security Management System with enough severity to prevent an organization to market/advertise it is certificated. But you should ensure its treatment is effective and in the agreed deadline, because failure on treating a minor non conformity can lead to a major non conformity which, depending on the circumstances, can prevent an organization to market/advertise it is certificated.
