Lauren Naefe is an experienced marketer with a keen grasp of organic community marketing and campaign management and measurement. Having graduated from the University of Texas (Austin) with a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations, she has been exploring the relationship between product and place for 5+ years, marketing everything from book clubs to printing supplies, from reggaeton rappers to romance novels, from a funeral home to a body-building film—all of which have imbued her with a deep understanding of consumer behavior (and a refined sense of irony).

Ultimately, Lauren is interested in the way emotions shape what we learn (or want to learn) as well as impact our relationships with others, and is dedicated to working with schools to facilitate and foster positive school climates.
