NEW YORK, USA // In over 15 years in the healthcare advertising industry, Lauren has helped shape brands from the tiny to the blockbuster, from medications that can extend life for people with cancer to lotions that can make for a less stressful bath-time for new parents.

She started her career at Sudler & Hennessey as a Junior Copywriter. A few years later she left to work on Viagra at CDM, and spent 9 years there helping to push the creative for dozens of healthcare brands. Then one day in 2018, she made the decision to join a new agency. An agency so small that it didn’t have a name yet.

A few weeks later, the agency became known as 21GRAMS. Lauren was one of agency’s first creative hires, helping to lay the groundwork for its rapid success. She co-created the reality series that was featured at the Behind the Work stage at Cannes in 2019, led the teams behind the most successful Twitch event in healthcare ever, and earned the agency’s first Clio Health and Cannes Lion wins. In 2021, Lauren became the first ever Executive Creative Director of 21GRAMS New York. In her time at agency, it has grown from 40 people to over 700 and has been named one of the top 5 healthcare agencies in the world.

Of the various titles Lauren has held, she’s proudest to be called “Mom” by her kids, Piper (7) and Archer (3). But being named a Clio Health Jury Chair this year isn’t too far behind.
