When a guy named Paul Lessing opened the doors in 1907 (yeah, THAT 1907), he built the company around smart, creative storytelling. Since those early days, a few things have changed - like radio, TV, email, the internet, mobile phones and social media. But our simple approach of getting the right story in front of the right audience is still what we do today (it just happens a lot faster and in ways that are a lot cooler).
And, if you're interested in history, take a gander through some of Paul Lessing's original blog writings he printed and mailed it every month because.

Lessing-Flynn was founded in 1907, some eight decades before Al Gore got around to inventing the Internet.
At the time, America was struggling through a period of economic turmoil that would be forever remembered as The Panic of 1907.
In other words, the perfect time for a young man by the name of Lessing to open up a marketing and advertising agency in Des Moines, Iowa, population 70,000 or so.
Indeed, Paul Lessing was either a brilliant visionary who recognized an extraordinary opportunity.
Today, four generations and over 100 years later, the world of marketing and advertising is much different than it must have been amidst all the mayhem of 1907.

If you really break advertising down, there are two basic parts, the message and the delivery vehicle.
Media is basically the delivery vehicle.
It used to be that media was simple.
Print.
Radio.
TV.
Outdoor.
Not so much anymore.
Today there are an unlimited number of ways to reach an audience (or even an individual) with your message.
Doing it the most effectively is the trick.
After more than 100 years, we've gotten pretty good at it - even with all the newfangled stuff!
Too often, media plans are just regurgitations of what has been done in the past (sounds kinda gross, huh?).

It takes time, planning and a smart strategy to develop messaging that will put your company into the media in a positive light consistently.
But when you do it right, it can be much more influential than any ad.
Knowing how to tell YOUR story AND the story the media wants to tell can be a delicate balancing act.
Fortunately, we have the finesse.
Influence the influencers.
That's what we're talking about here.
Maintaining relationships with the people who your customers are paying attention to helps when you have something important that you want them to know.
