Writer, publicist, content and event producer Lauren Brown has cultivated a fine understanding of social media, online engagement and producing effective PR for new media audiences.

Relying on her background as a journalist and visual storyteller, Lauren enjoys smudging the line between events and entertainment, creating custom, yet, immersive experiences powered by social tech. Lauren takes great pleasure in designing and producing gatherings, online and off, with the ability to bring folks together around policy, action and change.

Lauren led the Digital Moving Image Salon at Spelman College under the direction of Dr. Ayoka Chenzira, producing two Reel Women Film Festivals, Digital Doyennes: Wisdom from the Women who Lead in Social Media and Digital Innovation and the live social media portions of the National Visionary Leaders Project and the annual ARCUS Foundation Symposium.

Her other media credits include Examiner.com, Jack and Jill Politics, The Huffington Post and Huffington Post Live, Georgia Public Broadcasting, Current TV, Al Jazeera America and The Young Turks.

Lauren is an alumni of New Organizing Institute's New Media Bootcamp, has been named a New Media Institute Fellow by the National Black Programming Consortium, and New Leaders Council, going on to serve the latter as National Communications Director producing their annual National Leadership Conference, East and West Coast Conversations and quarterly Board Member retreats.

Lauren’s current writings and clients involve artists using their creativity for activism, luxury, travel and fashion.
