Walnut Creek, Calif. – January 26, 2022. Spear Marketing Group, a leading full-service B2B demand generation agency, announced its hiring of Garrett Lawrence as Chief Marketing Officer, a new role at the company.

Lawrence is a veteran of the agency business, having held senior client service and business development roles with prominent firms including Publicis, Anderson & Lembke, Foote Cone & Belding (FCB), and Grey Advertising.
