Mark Lee’s Summary

The Mark Lee Group was founded in late 2006 by a veteran catalog and web marketer with 29 years in the industry — and a track record of successfully growing smaller organizations. If you market products or services through catalogs or the internet, The Mark Lee Group can help you meet your company's goals.
Though we can work with start-ups, we are typically most helpful to organizations that have passed the "start-up" phase, but are not yet of a size to afford seasoned marketing experts on staff.
