About our Guest: 

Raised in Kansas City, Mo., by a father who was a journalist and a mother who was an artist, it’s no surprise that creativity and a love for marketing were innately instilled. Lauren graduated from Drake University (Go Bulldogs!) with a degree in graphic design and advertising. Her passion for new challenges led her to become a Fulbright Scholar in South Korea, after which she moved to Washington, D.C., and Boston, where she worked at a boutique marketing agency. Eventually, she settled in San Diego.

In 2013, she founded Out & About Communications. More than 10 years later, the original vision remains — to build an agency that treats clients like family and delivers work that wows. The agency found its niche in the financial services industry, partnering with wealth management, payroll, lending, banking, and outsourced financial consulting companies nationwide. They hire, train, and build their systems around the complex compliance and jargon-heavy worlds of their clients. Today, she is proud to share that the team has grown to 30+ strategists, managers, and implementers.

Outside of work, Lauren can be found exploring San Diego with her husband and two daughters or trying new restaurants. She also enjoys getting lost in her garden, pulling veggies, or attempting to plant seeds.
