2020: A Year in Review
It’s been *quite* a year. Like everyone, Lev has had to pivot, adapt, and navigate the new realities of a global pandemic. But, we—including our employees (aka Levsters), customers, and partners—rose to the occasion. Yes, it’s been a year full of challenges, but it was also a year filled with perseverance, resilience, and ultimately—growth.
Our customers (and marketers everywhere) have had to make major adjustments to their well-laid plans for the year. Whether it was rethinking an email calendar, or reshaping an entire go-to-market strategy— our customers showed extreme resilience.
Because of the perseverance of our customers, our employees, and our partners, Lev was able to continue to overachieve on our goal—2020 was our best year in company history (again), including hitting a milestone of 200 employees. We are thankful to continue to grow at a rapid-pace and transform our business each year, and we are thankful to do it alongside the most incredible marketers and people out there.
As we wrap up 2020, and look forward to 2021, we are sharing some of the highlights we have celebrated from this extraordinary (or anything-but-ordinary) year. 🎉
