About LMD.
We are fearless thinkers, creators, and builders who know how to ignite change, transform brands, and deliver measurable results.
Our Name.
Our name honors where we’ve been and what we set out to do every day.
For more than 40 years, LMD has evolved from a local graphics shop to the full-service, integrated communications and consulting "change agency" that we are today with regional and national private and public sector clients. In 2008, we shortened our name from Laurel Marketing & Design to "LMD."
Change is in our DNA.
Our service offerings have changed to meet the ever-evolving needs of a challenging market, the digital economy, and our clients; and we have honed our ability to change the beliefs and behaviors that will help our clients meet their goals.
Lead. Market. Deliver.
What does that change look like? Our acronym name also describes the ways our game-changing work empowers our clients to:
Lead in the market, in their industry, and in their organizations.
Market smarter with evidence-based, behavior science-driven strategies that increase awareness, change behavior, and motivate people to take action.
Deliver on their brand promise, mission, and goals.
Our Values.
-
People come first, always. LMD is a people-first agency—whether those people are our employees, clients, or partners—and it shows in every interaction.
Showcase talents and skills. We honor our team members by shining a spotlight on their unique professional strengths and personal interests.
Embrace our differences. We value different points of view and champion diversity in our workplace and our work.
-
Be open to change. Exceeding our clients’ expectations and delivering value requires a clear road map—and the courage to go off the beaten path.
Never stop learning. We encourage our people to embrace curiosity, experimentation, and new ideas, and invest in continuous training and learning to help them fulfill their career goals.
Trust the data. We continually ask “why"? and rely on discovery and research to find the answers.
-
Facilitate teamwork and collaboration. We foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas, both within and between teams, to create true partnerships internally and externally.
Be a partner. We act as trusted partners to support our clients’ missions and help them achieve the positive change they’re seeking.
-
Build a foundation of trust and respect. We keep our promises, follow through, and communicate clearly, quickly, frequently, and honestly.
Hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Responsibility, accountability, professionalism, and transparency are at our core and reflected in everything we do.
Team LMD.
Change for the greater good.
A passion to help others is shared by everyone at LMD, and we are honored to combine our talents to support and serve our community. People who dedicate their lives to serving others inspire us to use our talents to change the lives of the less fortunate and most vulnerable.
LMD donates time, money, gifts, and marketing support to environmental causes, unhoused people, children and families in need, human trafficking survivors, members of our military, first responders, and empowerment programs for disadvantaged female youth.
“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
'Tis Our Reason for the Season
During the holiday season, LMD sends care packages to the homeless, human trafficking survivors, and/or members of our military.
