Lauren Ogúndèkó

“In what has to have been the strangest year, Lauren has been a rock and the constant source of positive energy that the Response team and I needed. Lauren is commercially savvy, an innovative leader and approachable to everyone in the department. Lauren's years of experience and digital nous have been invaluable during my time at PHD. Whether it is a 2nd opinion, someone to get excited about your idea with or a nudge in the right direction, Lauren is the one. Lauren's pushed forward with product innovation, made us dream bigger and helped the team grow despite the current climate. I'm sad that we didn't get to spend more time working together but I'm sure we will again in the future.”

“Warm, intelligent with the skill and leadership to cut through the noise and get to the heart of the problem - simultaneously making people feel heard and included, is a skill very few people possess. I met Lauren in the spring 2020 when she volunteered as a mentor for Brixton Finishing School. A charity with the sole aim to hone and mentor under represented talent. I was struck by her energy, her drive to push her mentee and her determination to help in any form she could. Not only did we become colleagues but also friends and team members as we have since worked together on initiatives where she has flawlessly demonstrated her marketing and digital leadership, driving discussions and finding ingenious ways to ensure we are commercially on the front foot. I am in awe of her ability to draw people in with her authenticity and professionalism, she quickly wins trust and is hellbent on delivering whatever is promised. Lauren is simply an amazing person and I could not endorse her highly enough. ”

“I worked alongside Lauren as a Co-Chair on the Multicultural advisory board. Lauren is brilliant, thorough, and has a rare capacity to be innovative. She is knowledgeable and humble, which is an increasingly rare combination. I consider myself lucky to have seen her in action at a role that required initiative and tenacity and seeing how she excel at both firsthand. ”

“I worked with Lauren for far too short a period and wish I could have convinced her to stay for longer! Lauren is exceptional, from her specialist knowledge across SEO, PPC and digital performance channels in general, to her fantastic people and team development skills, all the way through to her entrepreneurial spirit and commercial nous. Oh and let's not forget her ability to forge deep client relationships. A fantastic colleague and hugely valuable.”

“Lauren has been a chair and resident of UNIFY since its launch in early 2020. She is a great thinker and i always look forward to our engaging and expansive conversations. Her unique perspectives on how we can deconstruct the agency business models have been refreshing and incredibly insightful to me and many other key people within the industry. I really enjoy hearing her views on how she sees tech evolving including her personal views on how this tech-driven future we are in can come with its own challenges and algorithmic biases. ”

“It's been a pleasure to have Lauren as Chair for the UNIFY Creative Round Table 'Deconstructing the Agency Business Model'. She always brings unique perspectives, bright energy and the passion to help our industry move forward. Her macro understanding of what our industry needs in order to progress is fantastic and with every conversation we have she brings a smile and joy :) Lauren is always someone I look forward to speaking to. ”

“Lauren's service approach is second to none. Request are picked up and actioned in no time. ”

“Lauren provided invaluable advice and strategic counsel on our digital strategy. She demonstrated creative, in-depth knowledge and expertise and was instrumental in driving performance improvement across all channels. She was great to work with, always positive and constructive. ”

“Lauren is the whole package: savvy, sharp, creative and knowledgeable. She's an SEO pro and a valuable addition to any team effort. And it doesn't hurt that she's funny and easy to get along with, either.”

“Lauren is a hard-working and knowledgeable digital marketer with an expertise for SEO, PPC, Social Media and various other digital marketing channels. She combines both the ability to complete projects expertly and efficiently with the capacity to train others in digital marketing. Lauren is very flexible in her approach to any project with the ability to provide successful results, hit KPI's & deliver ROI; whatever the challenge. Lauren is an invaluable asset to the office dynamic as she is a bubbly and positive person who brings the best out of people, myself included.”

“Lauren, as with all good search marketers, doesn't consider SEO to be a job. She has a genuine passion which leads to non-formulaic digital strategies for clients. Her wide knowledge to include affiliate, email, conversion, etc. make her a great asset to the team. She is a pleasure to work with, making friends with all teams. More than any of this, I've been most impressed with her work ethic. She will always go the extra to help her colleagues with pitches, keep clients happy and just make sure the work is done.”

“Lauren represents the brightest and most forward thinking element of our technical staff. She is dynamic, intelligent and incredibly efficient. She makes our job on the account management team twice as easy by always offering her services on hand when need be, providing us with the technical support we sometimes require whenever we require it, but most importantly she relays everything with a sociable, polite and professional touch. Lauren is great fun to work with, and as the newest addition to the BigChoice team has settled in brilliantly and my daily battles with her to see who can turn up to the office earlier is testiment to her punctuality, which surely only serves to add another string to her already overflowing bow of talents.”

“Lauren is a very driven and pro-active professional, with great interpersonal skills and always full of great ideas. She brings a refreshing wealth of knowledge at the cutting edge of the digital/social marketing field, coupled with her reassuring experience of the more traditional methods of marketing. Lauren is an asset to any business, her knowledgeable base of the online marketing spectrum is demonstrated in the campaigns she assembles.I have always admired her professionalism and her vast knowledge from other areas (both web and retail). Lauren's expertise in the online marketing field is key and drives obvious business growth.”

“Lauren is a hard working, dedicated online professional who always goes the extra mile to ensure a job is done properly. She works well with others and is happy to muck in as required. Lauren has a detailed working knowledge of online marketing and was a great asset my the team.”
