Heya, I'm Lauren
I work with small-to-medium, female-founded businesses to help them feel like the guest of honour in their own marketing again.
Because it turns out “cracking selling online” is just doing more of what you love, in a way that you’re excited to share with people.
Welcome to the party

My story
How did it allllll start?
So, like most business owners I know, I didn’t start my career thinking I’d run a business. But, after being stuck in a boring admin role nearly 10 years ago (yes, the horror of admin still haunts me), I slipped & fell into the world of marketing.
I started as a marketing assistant covering all the things. Yes, everything. Then, in my next role, I ran a team as the marketing manager. This is where I had my first taste of strategy & I thought “oooh yeah, I’ll go for some more of that please”.
Theenn I moved into the agency world as a content manager in London, working with the likes of Sainsbury's & other national brands that are fun to name-drop.
My last full-time role before diving into the freelancing world was with a go-to-market agency managing content strategies for a range of UK-based start-ups.
So yeah, I know a thing or two about marketing, how to procrastinate on your admin & just how utterly bizarre all of the business bros sound when they talk about “the pitch deck”.
Yep, still, my story
Where am I now?
Since joining the world of freelancing, I’ve worked with clients like Ceels Lockley, This Social Cottage & Digital Women. See? Name-dropping is FUN!
In between all that fun stuff, I've been growing an online community of over 26k+ business owners (!!). This is where I share the after-party debriefs on the stuff I’ve been through & what it’s taught me along the way.
I’ve helped countless business owners reflect their authentic amazingness in their own content, without making them feel like they have to fit themselves into a framework or a trend.
I’m very excited to see who I help next.
Oooh I'm still going
I run a cute, quirky & very fun stationery business too
At Short Stuff, I make notebooks for the corporate girls, fun bookmarks that don’t look like they fell out of your nan’s handbag & a bunch of other cute things too.
You should be the guest of honour in your own content

Aggie
Head of treats, walks & morale
Aggie, short for Agnes, is our 18-month cockapoo with enough energy to do a marathon in record time. She's in charge of keeping morale up, treats flowing & ripping her toys to shreds. You'll see Aggie in content regularly, because we're not beyond using her cuteness for likes (& leads).
We have a type & that's ok
Consultants & strategists

Creative service providers
Business & life coaches
Not every business is for every business & we're proud of that. Lauren Does Mktg works best with female-founded service businesses who are ready to be taken seriously through content, the ones who've outgrown the "content doesn't work" era & know they've gotta sell their shit.
You're probably our person if you already know you're good at what you do & your main frustration is that your content feels heavy. We fix that with personality-packed content.
