We are committed to ethical AI, transparent practices, and honest communication in every client relationship. You can trust us to put your interests first and deliver with honesty at every stage.

A-Team

We deliver high-quality results every time—no shortcuts, no compromises. You'll be working with seasoned pros, not amateurs. Our focus is on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and communication, so your brand always looks its best.

Our Story

At Lane Street, we’re more than a single visionary—we’re a team united by a passion for evolving technology and a proven track record in sales and marketing innovation.

Together, our collective experience spans over 30 years in enterprise sales, business development, entrepreneurship, video marketing, lead generation, and high-growth brand building. That means our ‘zone of genius’ is helping businesses of all sizes stand out and succeed in crowded, noisy markets.

Our Collective Expertise

Our journey began with our founder, CEO and chief innovation officer, M. Rodney Lane, whose three decades of building successful businesses—including some of DC’s most talked-about restaurants, spearheading visionary solutions in the commercial energy world, successful restaurant turn-arounds, and even standup comedy—taught him the power of sales, storytelling, customer connection and crafting a unique brand voice. But his tech obsession was never far behind. From creating movie-studio quality videos to embracing the cutting edge of AI and video editing software, he’s always been passionate about the intersection of creativity and technology.

Our Value

Now, we’ve brought together a team whose expertise covers every angle of modern business growth. Whether it’s generating leads, building successful brands, or leveraging the latest AI tools, we’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t) across decades and industries. When you work with Lane Street, you’re partnering with a group that knows how to turn ideas and message into impactful, unforgettable results.

Consider Lane Street your guide to cutting through the noise in crowded marketplaces, your secret weapon for gaining a competitive edge… all equipped with equal parts business savvy, technical expertise, and the kind of experience that only comes from 30 years at the forefront of sales, marketing and brand innovation.

We believe that curiosity, creativity, and a dash of humor make the journey more enjoyable—and more successful.

By far the best team I've ever worked with. They truly understood our goals, along with business and sales strategy. Highly recommend!

Greg R.

An unexpectedly fun and easy process to get a highly trained sales agent for our business. It's helping book more demos for our sales team faster and easier than ever. Thank you!

Susan G.

They came with clear strategy and totally 'demystified' the whole AI agent genre for us. Before we didn't want some robotic chatbot with no personality being the first impression, but these agents knocked it out of the ballpark. Thanks for an amazing experience!
