Executive Creative Director at Edelman France
Paris, France

About me

With the simple philosophy: “I like Ideas. Hopefully one of them will make the world better.”, Lauren is the executive creative director of Edelman Paris, using creative problem solving to impact real positive change.

Originally from Melbourne, she is a published thought-leader, public speaker, columnist and international award juror. Lauren is an art-director by trade, strategically exigent with a love for copywriting who champions a strong concept executed with simplicity.

A feminist before-it-was cool, she is one of The 3% and The One Clubs’ ‘Next Creative Leaders’, a Cannes Lions ‘See It Be It’ alumni, a proud winner of Eurobest’s GLASS award and one of Pitch magazines ‘100 superwomen’.

Lauren unashamedly believes that advertising can change the world and can be found dressed head-to-toe in black, convincing her teams and international clients alike to give away their profits, create social change and stand for something better.
