2017
Our new website is launched! Yes … we’re finally retiring the “screamin lady”! Just like so many of our clients, MG Lomb was too busy with our customers’ work to rebuild our website. So we trudged on, with an old, outdated and ineffective website. We love it, and we hope you do too! MG Lomb’s new website is even Case Study worthy. If you’d like to know how an agency develops its own website, read this. And a final good-bye to our screamin lady. We loved her, and she did well by us!
