About 434 Marketing

With over 12 years of experience, we’ve partnered with businesses across a range of industries to help them clarify their message, reach the right audience, and turn marketing efforts into real business growth.

We’re a small but mighty agency based in Lynchburg, Virginia, founded by husband-wife duo Dustin and Jennifer Slightham. While we’re a remote-first team, we’re deeply collaborative — both internally and with our clients — working together to make marketing more strategic, organized, and effective.

More about Our Approach
Transparency
We make unhindered honesty a standard both internally and externally. What this means is that you won’t find any veiled agendas or selfish intentions. We’re always open to collaboration and collective decision-making. We do this because trust and transparency ultimately create lasting relationships and better results.
Curiosity
We allow our curiosity to inspire us to take measurable and creative action. When we encounter something that sparks wonder, whether it's an exciting opportunity or a challenge to face, we bring discernment to explore solutions and use our tenacity to adapt. We’re always learning and believe our insatiable curiosity drives us to innovate and constantly evolve.
Community
We genuinely care for those in our community. We have committed to encouraging one another, professionally and personally. Plus, it’s a top priority for us to give back to our communities. This commitment was formed out of equal, shared consideration for all living things.
Stewardship
We prioritize being good stewards. We believe we have a responsibility to one another and our clients to ethically allocate time, budget, and other resources. In doing so, we are able to operate with integrity and efficiency. We are also purveyors of our learnings, sharing successful tactics and resources to support our common goals.

We believe good work starts with great people.

Our culture is built upon team members who are committed to producing excellent work that energizes us and delights our clients – and we prioritize creating an environment that allows our team to do just that. We believe that creating a healthy, employee-focused culture yields better results. We are committed to making 434 Marketing an awesome place to work!
