Our Values
WHO IS LESSING-FLYNN ANYWAY?

We are investors

We invest in our people to make them better. We expect our people to invest in themselves to grow and learn. We invest in our clients so we can offer them the highest value.

we are creators

We don’t settle for the simple or expected answer. We think creatively. We look at all angles and challenge ourselves until we’ve found the best. We are doers who are brave enough to turn ideas into action.

we are explorers

We are curious. We ask questions that start with “why” and “what if.” We have a hunger to learn more and understand. We have a need to learn new things.

We Are Teammates

We are partners who form genuine relationships by doing what we say we’ll do, and trusting others to do the same. We are transparent and sincere. We tell the truth, even when it is difficult. That’s how we build trusting relationships that last. We win together.

History
Where we Came from

OUR BRAND STORY IS 115 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

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 them every month because … well, a lot of things weren’t invented yet).

Lessing-Flynn was among the first ad agencies in Iowa to advertise on radio and television. Among the first in the nation to use email. And the first and only on the planet to create a VR experience inside pig barns. We are and always have been innovators.
