Hi, I'm Lawren! Experienced marketing leader.
Idea Generator / Results-driven / Strategy minded
Marketing has been a passion of mine since my first marketing class in college. I found my niche in real estate marketing, combining a personal interest with a desire to grow communities and help create beautiful environments for people to thrive. I have over 15 years of experience leading high-impact marketing initiatives that drive growth, elevate brands, and deliver measurable results.
I’m open to opportunities with organizations that prioritize people, purpose, and culture. A strong team dynamic and a values-aligned environment aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential. For me, finding the right fit within a company is just as important as the role itself, and I thrive in spaces where collaboration, respect, and innovation are at the core.

I believe powerful marketing doesn’t just tell a story—it drives action. Throughout my career, I’ve led award-winning teams, scaled customer acquisition programs, and transformed brand presence for companies ranging from startups to national enterprises. My approach blends creative vision with data-driven strategy to build campaigns that not only look good—but perform. I believe that connecting to people in a meaningful, emotional way through eloquent messaging combined with intriguing images are the beginning of an effective marketing strategy. Combined with an advertising mix and competent analytics, you get excellent results. I strategize and develop the entire cycle of content marketing, from strategy development to creative planning to analyzing results and suggesting and implementing changes where needed and reporting those results, using multiple channels.
I love being a part of something bigger, that means something to people.
I am an award-winning marketing executive with hands-on experience leading full-funnel marketing strategies across diverse sectors of the real estate industry, including development, residential, multifamily, leasing, and property management. With a proven ability to align brand storytelling with data-driven decision-making, I’ve led high-performing teams, launched successful advertising campaigns, and developed scalable strategies that drive traffic, increase occupancy, generate leads, and boost revenue.
My leadership approach blends creativity with operational efficiency, ensuring marketing efforts not only resonate with target audiences but also deliver measurable ROI.
