history

Thank you for taking the time to explore and visit our website. My name is Shawn Glaspell, and I founded the Spencer Lewis Marketing Group. The company was established in 1998 to service a niche in the advertising, marketing and public relations industry. That niche was, and still is, a marketing firm that puts customer service right up there with creative development.

I studied the Hospitality field in college. (This is why we are so conscious of good customer service.) I went to work in the Hotel industry and after gaining a few years of operational experience, I ended up focusing on Sales and Marketing. While working in this area of the business I found that marketing was an extremely important part of selling any product. If you didn’t utilize marketing, you were dependent on luck to succeed. I didn’t want to depend on luck. I wanted to better control my success. So what did I do? I hired an advertising agency to assist me. I was now in better control of my fate as the Director of Sales and Marketing.

After successful experiences in the Hospitality industry, I went to work for an advertising agency to gain even more marketing experience. It seemed to be the natural thing to do now that I had a newfound interest in the Marketing field.

The experiences that I received at the advertising agency gave me the platform to start Spencer Lewis Group. I wanted the company to be different than traditional agencies, which were built on industry buzzwords and big egos. I wanted this new company to keep a few things in mind: client’s needs, an impeccable level of customer service and to simply do what you say you are going to do.

The combination of the Hospitality industry customer service philosophy with the Marketing industry is an approach that has enabled us to successfully market Southern California businesses. If you would like to discuss our top of the line marketing and communications services, please give me a call.
