About Me
My name is Lauren and I am a Sydney-based senior marketing professional with 15+ years experience in the food, hospitality, consumer products, FMCG and design sectors. I grew up in Brisbane where I completed a Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing and Public Relations at the University of Queensland. After graduating I decided to spread my wings and move to the United States. After 13 fun-filled but very cold years in Chicago I moved back to Australia and am now happy to call Bondi home.
Work Experience
I am an accomplished marketing professional committed to developing innovative programs and ideas that drive results. I am skilled at developing data and insight-driven solutions and marketing plans that speak to diverse customers and channels. My background includes all facets of marketing, including digital, events and communications. My passion lies with brand and content marketing, and its capacity to influence and engage with diverse audiences. This is evident in my demonstrated track record spearheading integrated marketing plans, building comprehensive content strategies and driving brand transformation. I have successfully diversified target markets, boosted social media engagement, and scaled e-commerce sales via performance and email marketing.
I have extensive experience working cross-functionally and managing external agencies to deliver optimal results, on time and on budget. I pride myself on my proven ability to develop strong, collaborative relationships both internally and externally. Whether leading teams or providing informal mentoring, I am often asked to lend my technical expertise to develop the capabilities of marketing personnel.

On a More Personal Level
It’s probably evident in my career choices, but I am an enthusiastic cook and lover of all things food-related. I’m a naturally curious person and a big believer in lifelong learning and growth. I love getting outdoors and exploring everything this incredible planet has to offer us. After leaving Chicago I was fortunate enough to take a two month road trip across the U.S. visiting 12 national parks along the way. Photography is a hobby of mine and the trip provided the perfect opportunity to practice those skills. Now, after 13 long, cold Chicago winters I am thrilled to be living near the beach. In my spare time I volunteer at the Wayside Chapel, am an avid ocean swimmer, and have recently taken up cycling which at times has made me question my sanity, particularly on cold mornings or when going down steep hills!
