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.

This year marks our 15th year in business. For those that don’t know the whole story, 454 Creative was born in 2003 in my parent’s hot, windowless attic in Whittier, California.

The early days were full of laughter, empty bank accounts, and swarming termites in the summer.  Every day felt like we were learning or inventing something new.
