Congratulations on making the first steps to implement Lean Marketing at your organization. We’ve put together this guide as a way to bring clarity to the operating principles and job function for the marketing team. However, these principles have broad benefit to the entire organization and should be implemented cohesively with the leadership team. Learn the system and execute with diligence.

We wanted a change, but understood that having brand consistency and staying recognizable to our clients was essential to our business. So, instead of rolling out a completely new idea, we decided to perform a logo refresh.
