About
Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
With over 25 years of experience in design, marketing, and content creation, I’ve built my career around one simple goal: helping small businesses thrive—not just survive.
I’m Randall Lang, owner of Live and Local Media.
My journey began back in 1993 in the real estate industry, where I recognized a gap in marketing for the manufactured housing market. Together with my wife, Dawn, we launched a niche real estate magazine focused specifically on manufactured homes and communities. It quickly became a success, helping dealers and communities better connect with their ideal customers.
As technology evolved, so did we. We expanded into digital by creating a website with a searchable database, making it even easier for buyers to find the right home. Unfortunately, when the housing market crashed in 2008, many of our clients were deeply impacted—and as a result, we had to close our doors.
But that chapter didn’t end my entrepreneurial drive or my passion for helping businesses grow.
That’s what led me to create Live and Local Media—bringing together my experience in marketing, social media, and video production to help small businesses increase their visibility, strengthen their brand, and grow their bottom line.
Today, through multiple Facebook platforms and local content initiatives, we highlight community events and spotlight businesses in Linden and Fenton. From live event coverage to business features, our mission is to connect local audiences with the businesses that serve them.
We’re also expanding with initiatives like “Shop Local Fenton Linden,” designed to further support and promote local businesses both on our website and across social media.
My family and I call Swartz Creek home—a small, close-knit community just west of Grand Blanc and Flint.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me kayaking with my family, mountain biking, traveling, or enjoying a quiet day fishing. I’m always learning, always growing, and always looking for new ways to better serve the businesses in our community.
Marketing isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love. And there’s nothing more rewarding than helping others succeed.
