New York, United States
July 2009 - January 2012 (2 years 6 months)
Appointed to her current position in 2012 from her previous post as CMO of North America, Lauren has helped oversee a dynamic revitalization of the O&M brand.
Under Lauren’s watch, O&M was named an Ad Age “Agency to Watch” in 2011, “Stand Out Agency” in 2012 and 2013, and “North America B-to-B Agency of the Year” in 2014. In 2013, Lauren launched the first-ever content partnership for an advertising agency with Fast Company and also oversaw the launch of the agency’s new intranet.
Lauren brings the resources of O&M’s global network and integrated communications capabilities to bear on prospects’ strategic marketing issues, as well as strengthening O&M’s internal and external marketing and communications initiatives. She was named CMO of O&M North America in 2010, a first for a woman in the company’s history. She was also named an Ad Age “Woman to Watch” in 2011, one of The Adweek 25, a list of the most influential Twitter voices. Most recently she was selected as an honoree for the 2013 DM News Marketing Hall of Femme.
A nine year O&M veteran, Lauren quickly rose through the Business Development ranks and became the youngest Partner, then Senior Partner, in the history of the agency. After three years, she was named Director of Business Development.
Throughout her time in Business Development, Lauren has led the acquisition of many clients on O&M’s client roster, including Motorola, British Airways, Time Warner Cable, UnitedHealthcare, Thomson Reuters, Stolichnaya Vodka, UPS, Citizens Bank, IKEA, Tabasco, Gap, Comcast, E*TRADE, and Tiffany & Co. She has also built the agency’s first “New Business Machine,” creating strategic communications, launching prospecting efforts and developing agency marketing and business development plans.
In addition to her already stated responsibilities, Lauren also oversees the Tiffany & Co. business for O&M.
