Hi, I'm Lauren.
This is my story.
As a senior executive, Lauren knew what “It’s lonely at the top” meant. As founder of Agency Sisters, one of her objectives is to enable Digital Marketing Agency Owners and CEOs to have 24/7 access to a community (sisterhood) of trusted and like-minded peers.
Lauren's mission is to help mastermind sisters get the exact support and answers they need without the fear of being embarrassed, rejected, humiliated, invalidated, or not enough, whether they’re wearing lipstick or not.
​
Lauren has utilized her advanced education and certifications to support her success.
She earned a BS in Human Resources Management from Northeastern University in Boston, graduating cum Laude, and an MBA in Marketing from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and graduating Magna cum Laude, with a post-graduate specialty in Finance.
She then earned a post-grad certificate in Curriculum Design from New School University in New York.
While serving as a Director at Heineken, Lauren created Heineken Sales Campus (HSC).
​
This innovative corporate university quickly became a beer industry best-in-class training experience with an annual budget of $500,000.
Within one year, HSC won three national awards: The AQPC CUBIC (Corporate University Best in Class) Most Innovative Corporate University, Best New Corporate University, and Lauren was honored as Corporate University Leader of the Year.
After a long and successful corporate career, Lauren took a sabbatical to study full-time in the BFA program in Digital Art and Animation at the prestigious DigiPen Institute of Technology.
During that time she achieved certification as an Adobe-Certified Design Expert and won numerous awards, including the American Graphic Design Award for Large Format Design, Logo Design, and Website Design.
Launching her agency 18k and applying all of her experience and knowledge simply made sense as a next career step.
After a period of years, she realized that it wasn’t enough and that her zone of genius was when both marketing agency management and executive development were combined.
To better serve her clients, Lauren has earned over 15 professional certifications throughout her career covering Executive Development (Marshall Goldsmith Certified Executive Coach) and Accountability Coaching to Digital Marketing, and Graphic Design.
