LGAbout Laura
I'm a UK-based marketing and events strategist with over 15 years of experience working with service-based businesses, from hospitality and professional services to B2B consultancies and mission-led organisations.
I specialise in brand strategy, content creation, social media management, and event delivery - from intimate networking gatherings to large-scale flagship events in central London. I work primarily with founder-led businesses and SMEs who need a trusted partner who can handle both the strategic thinking and hands-on execution across marketing and events.
Alongside my main creative work, I also run a UGC studio for brands and have worked with household names such as Hovis, Butternut Box, BT, People's Postcode Lottery, Checkatrade and more.
