Lauren founded Punch PR in 2009 with the goal of stripping down the stereotypical agency/client relationship to create a more hands-on approach to brand strategy and management. With nearly 15 years of industry experience, Lauren got her start on the editorial side at Conde Nast publications Vanity Fair and Allure before making the switch to PR working with brands including Bvlgari, Fromm Family Foods, Harley-Davidson Footwear, KEEN, Wolverine and Summerfest.
