Lydon & Associates LLC

Working out of Northbrook, Illinois, Lydon & Associates LLC has been in business since 1973 and positions itself as a creative marketing agency that helps companies define their story and present it clearly to customers. Its declared work splits fairly evenly between digital marketing, web design and content marketing, with digital marketing holding a slight lead.

The agency's own description covers a broad set of capabilities: content development, website design and build, digital advertising and social campaigns, email, logo and brand identity work, marketing communications strategy, presentations, video and motion graphics, illustration, trade advertising, direct mail, signage and packaging. It also mentions practical search work such as SEO audits, competitor analysis and UI/UX improvements. Lydon says it works across financial services, industrial and manufacturing, and IT services and technology, and it names Bank of America, Ensono, Harley-Davidson, Mauser Packaging Solutions, Valvoline and WD-40 Company among the companies it has worked with.

With a team in the 10-49 range and projects starting from $10,000, Lydon is better suited to established mid-sized and larger organisations than to very small budgets. It is a sensible option for B2B brands in the Chicago area or elsewhere in the United States that need branding, sales enablement material and a website handled by one creative partner.
