Hello, I’m Lauren 💁🏼‍♀️

I’m powered by collaboration and bring an entrepreneurship mindset to every client engagement.

In 2023 I launched a new startup re-commerce marketplace, FANWAGN, as well as the Brand to Fan Show podcast to transform how leaders think about building beloved brands.

I’m obsessed with Fandom. I’ve advised “the world’s most interesting brands” on fan engagement, customer experience, content marketing and social media strategies as a part of Convince & Convert Consulting and Brain+Trust Partners.

I am one of the sports’ original social media creators, as the first voice of @PGATOUR, transforming how professional golf interacts with audiences and fans online and off.

I used to be a single-handicap golfer, but now I’m lucky to get in 9 at a time, usually on the local par 3 with my tiny playing partners — ages 10, 8, and 6.

BRAND TO FAN SHOW

On my podcast, I share conversations with my favorite business leaders to uncover the differences between marketing for Affinity, rather than Attention.

Come with me to explore the world of fandom and learn how to incorporate it into all customer and employee interactions, including marketing, sales, and CX.

HOW I HELP

Building for lasting affinity, rather than momentary attention.

I work with brands that want to cultivate fandom and loyalty from audiences rather than chase shiny objects and vanity metrics.

I was the PGA TOUR’s first “Fan Engagement” employee and have been in the business of social media since 2007. (My Twitter account is old enough to legally drive.)

Using the proven processes and frameworks I’ve developed to excel in marketing and communications, I teach others how to cultivate fans through intentional connection, messaging, and experiences.
