This month, we’re thrilled to celebrate a milestone that marks a quarter-century of innovation, growth, and community: Lionzone’s 25th anniversary! Over the past 25 years, we’ve been a proud part of Nashville’s vibrant business landscape, and this special occasion gives us the perfect opportunity to reflect on our journey, our roots in the community, and our vision for the future.
In the Beginning: A Dream Takes Shape
In 1999, Michael Goldberg, along with his close friend Brad Towle, took a leap of faith into the emerging field of digital marketing, launching what would become Lionzone. Originally named SageLion, the company was built on a foundation of hard work, innovation, and a vision to create something meaningful.
As Mike recalls, “Building Lionzone wasn’t just about creating a company; it was about building something for myself, my family, and our community.” From the outset, family and community were central to the company’s identity—a principle that continues to guide us today.
Growing with Nashville
Lionzone’s story is inextricably linked with Nashville, a city we’re proud to call home. Over the past 25 years, we’ve been more than just a business—we’ve been active participants in the city’s thriving community. From joining Chamber of Commerce events to supporting local arts, youth sports, and various organizations, Lionzone has always believed in the power of giving back.
As Mike often says, “Lionzone’s story wouldn’t be possible without Nashville, and we’re proud to call this community home.” Nashville is more than just where we work—it’s where we live, grow, and thrive as a family-run business.
A Legacy of Partnership and Progress
Today, Lionzone is led by Michael and his son Phillip, a dynamic father-son team that’s steering the company through the ever-evolving digital landscape. Despite the changes in technology and marketing trends, our mission remains steadfast: delivering real value to our clients and helping them achieve success.
“Our focus has always been on building relationships and empowering our clients,” says Mike. “That’s the heart of Lionzone.” Phillip adds, “We look forward not just to our future, but to the future of our family and the community as we continue to grow together.”
This commitment to innovation, service, and family has turned Lionzone into more than a business—it’s a legacy that reflects the values that inspired its founding.
Here’s to the Next 25 Years!
As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who has been part of our journey: our dedicated team, our loyal clients, and the Nashville community. Here’s to the next 25 years of growth, partnership, and making a difference—together!
