Lightspan was born in late 2009. Our founder, Mana Ionescu had been doing pro-bono digital marketing work and started noticing a pattern of social media interaction that led to online sales. A persistent and consistent daily schedule of catchy social media content and conversation was the key to success. Just like a fitness program, an hour each day could build up to significant results over time. The Daily Social Media Workouts became the core methodology and foundation for Lightspan.
Mana decided to take the methodology and start her own company. After a rewarding 7-year digital marketing career with one of the world’s largest banks, Mana set off on her own. Watch the video below to hear more of her story, from her upbringing in Communist Romania to her current Chicago home.
From the beginning, our mission has been to deliver clear and direct digital marketing solutions. We believe in marketing done with purpose, not just for the heck of it.
What does it mean to be “purpose-driven?”
It means that we don’t do digital marketing just for the heck of it. We aren’t big on flooding your head with jargon and buzzwords. We are committed to finding digital strategies that bring measurable results – and profits – to you. And we love to get the work done so we can see the results.
“There are billions of great ideas out there,” says our founder, Mana Ionescu. “We focus on taking them to fruition and profitability.”
Digital marketing is not an afterthought and social media shouldn’t be done on a whim. They are essential to an effective modern marketing strategy.

Lightspan has been a great partner to SimpleRelevance. Although Lightspan was initially brought onboard to help with social media efforts, they quickly went above and beyond to help with our overall brand strategy. Their creative approach to generating valuable content helped build a great base for our marketing efforts. Lightspan generated informative Twitter and blog posts, and facilitated strategic partnerships with blogs and social media outlets. This multi channel approach, combined with excellent execution, helped establish SimpleRelevance as a thought leader in the email marketing space. They added measurable value to our blog, our online social media presence, and overall online brand identity.As we shifted our marketing strategy in-house, Lightspan continued to provide support. They even helped educate our marketing team. Their holistic approach to marketing exceeded our expectations and made us feel like LightSpan was not only an agency but also a valuable partner.We highly recommend Lightspan's services for any company looking to maximize returns from their marketing efforts.
