Lauren O'Connor (she/her)'s Linkedin Analytics

I love selling stories. Hate selling myself. Here are five things about me and my work. 1. I first wanted to get into PR after reading a career feature in 2000's teen mag 'Bliss'. The article featured the PR for my, at the time crush. Gareth Gates. I day dreamed about a job where I could hang around with cool people and feel like I wasn't working a job. Well at least one of those has been true in my career so far! 2. I believe in treating people fairly and with respect. I've worked under people early on in my career that could be described as bullies. It affected my work confidence and would be afraid to offer up ideas for creative. It's through this experience that I actively work to promote kindness where I work so people are free to be who they are. 3. I am addicted to my phone. I am on every major social media channel. Except TikTok. No one needs to see me miming while dancing poorly. 4. It’s always hard to describe what Public Relations is to people. I usually go in with this: I make brands and people famous. 5. Sally Hawkins called me gorgeous. So there is that. She's won awards and everything.
