Since 2014, LM Connect has helped businesses in the Kansas City area develop and elevate their brand. From social media marketing to event planning, our team uses a one-of-a-kind approach for each client in order to target the right people with the right message.
We’re a one-stop-shop for all things marketing, advertising and public relations. We work WITH you from beginning to end - from creating your brand to seeking out the “right” media outlets to growing your business. We do not use a “one size fits all” approach to share your story. The biggest compliment you can give us is to treat us like we are part of your team, not as a contractor.
