With 14 years of experience in marketing, Lauren brings a sharp mix of strategy, creativity, and real-world insight to her role as Digital Growth Strategist at V9. She started her career at an ad agency, spent a decade running her own photography business specializing in brand storytelling, and later transitioned into content and brand strategy. This combination of agency life, entrepreneurship, and hands-on marketing execution gives her a grounded, holistic view of what actually drives growth.
Lauren’s superpower is helping businesses go from frustrated and overwhelmed to focused and clear. Whether she’s mapping out a content plan or fine-tuning messaging, she approaches every challenge with a mix of curiosity, empathy, and strategic thinking. She’s especially passionate about helping small businesses and marketing leaders translate complex goals into achievable strategies. What drew her to Volume Nine was the team’s thoughtful, human-centered approach—and their refusal to rely on cookie-cutter solutions.
Born and raised in Arizona, Lauren is a proud University of Arizona alum (Bear Down!) and still calls the Valley home. You’ll probably find her cruising around in her dream car—a Jeep Wrangler—with the music loud and a Diet Coke in hand. She’s an avid reader (especially romance novels), a movie rewatcher, and a firm believer that the perfect weekend includes a scenic hike followed by a cold beer.
Outside of work, Lauren is all about connection. She loves making people laugh and is known for her ability to make others feel seen and valued. She lives with her wildly lovable (and slightly chaotic) 13-year-old corgi, Luna, and keeps her outlook grounded in silver linings—not toxic positivity, just the quiet determination to keep moving forward.
