    2024 in Review: Everything We Brought to Digital Communication This Year

    2024 gave us countless reasons to celebrate.

    Every milestone brought new opportunities, every challenge made us stronger, and every moment left a mark.

    1. A Bright Start: L Squared at NRF

    We began the year at NRF 2024: Retail’s Big Show in the Big Apple—a global event connecting retail leaders and innovative technologies. 

    Over three days, we met decision-makers from 100+ countries and shared ideas that are shaping the future of retail communication.

    With Lenovo by our side, we showcased how our digital communication solution helps retailers build meaningful connections. 

    NRF was a moment of inspiration and momentum, setting the tone for a year of meaningful progress.

    2. A Toast to 17 Years of L Squared

    Our anniversary celebrations were anything but ordinary. In Toronto, we doubled our office space (because why not celebrate big?), and our Indore team joined the party virtually, proving that great vibes know no borders.

    Our clients, partners, and incredible team are the reason we’re here today. We have immense gratitude in our hearts for 17 years of collaboration, growth, and shared successes. Here’s to making the next chapter just as memorable!
