DeanHouston landed in California in 2012 to meet the growing demand of West Coast clients. What began in Grand Terrace soon grew into something bigger, leading us to Rancho Cucamonga in 2018 — a space designed specifically for collaboration and creativity.
Known as DeanHouston West, this office sits at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, just a quick drive from Ontario International Airport — making it the perfect gateway for clients across Southern California and beyond. West Coast energy, DeanHouston drive. #DHWest
Los Angeles is a hub of innovation — from aerospace to clean energy, advanced manufacturing to tech startups. Our B2B marketing agency in Los Angeles thrives in this environment, helping technical product and service companies translate complex offerings into campaigns that resonate with decision-makers across the globe.
The DeanHouston Los Angeles Culture
On the West Coast, creativity moves as fast as the industries we serve — and our LA team thrives in the middle of it all. With the mountains as a backdrop and some of the world’s most innovative companies as neighbors, inspiration is never far away. From taco-fueled brainstorms to collaborative client sessions, our culture reflects the diversity, energy and ambition that make Los Angeles unlike anywhere else.
Our Personality
Tacos as fuel for ideas. Brainstorms often end with a trip to one of LA’s legendary taco spots — because great campaigns deserve great tacos.
A mountain backdrop for big thinking. With the San Gabriel Mountains always in view, our team is reminded daily that creativity should be just as bold and expansive.
Collaboration as a lifestyle. Whether it’s client sessions designed to spark innovation or team traditions that celebrate wins, DeanHouston West thrives on connection and California energy.
In-N-Out inspiration. Sometimes the best marketing meetings happen over Double-Doubles and fries — because LA is as much about hustle as it is about flavor.
Our Local Favorites
Los Angeles brings creativity, diversity and forward momentum to the DeanHouston mindset. Our team works with innovators across industries, drawing inspiration from the city itself. These local favorites highlight the places and experiences that make LA unmistakably unique.
