Over sixteen years, I've built and systematized a content marketing agency that operates seamlessly without daily oversight through the strategic processes and high-performing team I developed. This entrepreneurial foundation gives me unique insight into what organizations truly need: not just exceptional content, but the systems and leadership to scale effectively. I specialize in bridging the gap between strategic vision and tactical execution. My approach combines advanced project management methodologies with AI-enhanced content development, delivering measurable results while building sustainable operational frameworks. Whether coordinating cross-functional teams across complex campaigns or implementing cutting-edge content workflows, I bring both the big-picture perspective and hands-on expertise that growing organizations require. My clients benefit from my ability to see projects holistically - from initial strategy development through team coordination, process optimization, and performance measurement. I excel at translating business objectives into actionable content plans, managing timelines and resources efficiently, and creating documentation that enables teams to maintain quality and consistency at scale. The intersection of strategic thinking, operational excellence, and innovative technology use defines my approach. I help organizations not just produce great content, but build the capabilities to do so consistently and efficiently over time.

Digital PR & Authority Link Building: Get Cited in Google and AI Search I earn my clients editorial coverage on outlets like Forbes, Healthline, CNBC, Entrepreneur, and Fortune. The kind of coverage that builds Google rankings and gets your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Same work, two channels. I'm the founder of Reporter Outreach, a digital PR and link building agency. Since 2017, I've run 500+ campaigns and earned over 25,000 editorial placements, averaging DR 75+. I work primarily with healthcare, eCommerce, SaaS, and finance brands competing in hard, often regulated niches. What makes this different from most link building on Upwork: I don't sell guest posts or PBN links. Every placement comes from journalist-first outreach and expert positioning. Your brand gets quoted as a real source in a real article a reporter chose to write. Those are the links that hold up through algorithm updates, and because AI search engines pull from the same trusted publications, editorial coverage is now what gets brands surfaced in AI answers, not just ranked in search. Clients hire me for: 1. Editorial backlinks from genuine DR 75+ publications 2. Visibility in AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews), which increasingly cites earned media over brand-owned content 3. White-hat SEO that survives long-term, not short-term gains that turn into liabilities 4. A senior strategist who understands both SEO and how journalists actually work What I do: 1. Digital PR & journalist outreach: expert-source pitching and direct journalist relationships by beat. Quote placements and contextual brand mentions in authoritative publications. 2. Authority link building (white-hat): editorial backlinks from real media sites, competitor backlink gap analysis, anchor and link velocity strategy, and YMYL-safe approaches for sensitive niches like health and finance. 3. Full-feature media placements: dedicated, full-length brand features written and placed on top-tier publications, handled end to end. Not guest posts. Proof: 1. Healthcare (Villa Oasis): 352% organic growth on DR 80+ placements in a YMYL niche 2. SaaS (Qooper): 2,203% organic traffic growth in 6 months 3. eCommerce (BloomsyBox): 555% growth in 10 months 4. Cybersecurity (Nightfall): 287% growth across 57 placements Why clients choose me: Founder-led: your campaign isn't handed to a junior or offshored. Real publications, never PBNs or guest post farms. Strategies built to Google's quality guidelines. Transparent reporting and realistic expectations about what's achievable and when. How it works: Strategy alignment (goals, authority gaps, competitors) → publication and journalist targeting → journalist-first pitching → placements delivered with clear reporting. Best fit if you're: Competing in a difficult SEO niche, recovering from a low-quality backlink profile, a founder who wants real credibility and AI-search presence, or an agency looking for a white-label digital PR partner. Send me your website, your competitors, and your goals. I'll tell you exactly what's realistic and how I'd approach it.

Your marketing should be making you money. If it's not, that's a strategy problem. Most businesses I talk to are stuck in one of two places. Either they're doing a bunch of marketing that isn't connected to anything, or they haven't started because they don't know what the right move is. Both cost you money every day you don't fix them. I'm Lauren. I'm the person you bring in when you need someone to look at your entire marketing picture, tell you what's actually worth doing, and build the plan to make it happen. I think like a CMO. I execute like an agency. Most strategists I know can't execute. Most executors can't strategize. I do both, and that's why my clients keep me on retainer. Here's what makes me different from most people you'll find on this platform: I don't start with tactics. I don't open Canva before I open a spreadsheet. Every engagement starts with me understanding your business, your customer, your competitors, and your goals. Then I build a strategy around what's real, not what's trending. That's how I've helped over 100 businesses across healthcare, tech, food and beverage, finance, law, retail, and entertainment turn their marketing into something that actually drives revenue. Not vanity metrics. Not "brand awareness." Revenue. Some clients hire me to build the strategy and hand it off to their team. Some hire me as their fractional CMO to lead the whole thing on an ongoing basis. Some start with a single consultation and realize they want me in their corner long term. I'm flexible because every business is different, and I'd rather build something that works for you than force you into a package. What I bring to the table: the strategic thinking of someone with a Master's from Northeastern, the creative instincts of a journalist, and the execution skills of someone who's been in the trenches building brands for over a decade. I've sat in the rooms where million-dollar marketing decisions get made, and I've also been the one up at midnight making sure the campaign actually launches. That range is rare, and it's why I get hired by founders who've already burned out on three other freelancers. Already know what you need? You can skip the discovery call entirely. My Brand Snapshot product is a fixed $250 strategy package, delivered as a 10-page PDF in 5 days. No meeting required, no back-and-forth scoping. You purchase it directly from my profile, I get to work, you get a full strategy back. Many of my long-term clients started exactly there. If you need someone to just post content, you have cheaper options. If you want someone to figure out what's worth posting in the first place, and then make sure it gets done, that's where I work. - Lauren
