3LS Inc. Launches 3LS Professional Services

Nashville, Tenn. – September 23, 2025
In a remarkable step toward fostering innovation and growth, 3LS, Inc. has officially launched 3LS Professional Services. This new entity aims to provide integrated services tailored for changemakers—individuals and organizations dedicated to making a positive impact in their communities.

3LS Inc., known for its employee-owned structure and commitment to social responsibility, has diversified its family of companies to a total of 18, further signifying its mission to empower good. Eric Strickland, CEO of 3LS, emphasized this commitment by stating, "For nearly 35 years, we've challenged ourselves to do good, empower good, and grow good in the communities we serve."

Meeting a Market Need

As 3LS Inc. expanded, the leadership identified a significant gap in the market for professional services that genuinely prioritize changemakers. The new organization will provide a wide range of offerings, including marketing, public relations, communications, digital strategy, and ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) advisory consulting. The impetus for this expansion comes not only from the need but also from strategic acquisitions made by the company in the past year, including the award-winning marketing agency 5by5 and 40 Million Owners, a firm specializing in employee ownership advisory services.

Leadership and Vision

With the launch of 3LS Professional Services, there are significant leadership changes, demonstrating the company's forward-thinking approach:

• - Shannon Litton, formerly the CEO of 5by5, has been appointed the CEO of 3LS Professional Services. Litton expressed her admiration for Strickland's vision and her excitement about leading the new division, emphasizing the importance of delivering world-class professional services to changemakers.
• - Josh Miller, previously President of 5by5, will now take the lead at the agency.
• - Michael Morosi, co-founder of 40 Million Owners, steps into the role of Chief Investment Officer at 3LS Inc.
• - Mike Brady, another co-founder of 40 Million Owners, will oversee operations within the ESOP advisory division.

A Bright Future Ahead

The launch has already been highlighted on the new 3LS Professional Services website, which underscores the organization’s commitment to providing unparalleled support for changemakers. Future plans include the anticipated introduction of the 3LS Solutions division, broadening their service offerings and reinforcing their mission.

3LS Inc.’s relentless pursuit of its empowerment mission is reflected not only in its diverse services but also in its strategic growth model. By fostering a culture of growth and innovation, 3LS is set to make significant contributions to communities and businesses alike.

With nearly 700 employees across seven states, the organization continues to embrace its roots in health and human services, focusing on quality child welfare and behavioral healthcare, along with technological advancements. As they expand into new service areas, 3LS remains dedicated to generating opportunities for changemakers everywhere.
