Lauren Eiden at Machu Picchu

Hey, it’s Lauren!

Thanks for visiting.

I’m a marketing & communications specialist with a focus on digital channels and creative content creation

I strongly believe that no marketing and communications plan in today’s world is complete without (a) an integrated strategy and (b) an agile and culture-first mindset. 

Current gig.

I’m currently the Manager of Social Media Programming at United Airlines. Here I run United's social media channels, from strategy to content creation (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).

My days range from being β€œon set” at airports for shoots, scheduling out our social calendar, jumping on the latest TikTok trend, or planning our always-on paid social media campaigns to help increase awareness and follower growth for United. Oh, and traveling. We do a lot of that here :).

 
 
 

 

Past gigs.

Previously, I was the Senior Manager of Creative Digital Strategy for McDonald’s at the global PR agency Golin, a 60-year relationship that marks the longest standing client for the agency! I managed McDonald’s β€œCulture Lab” work stream that monitors social media conversations and cultural moments for relevant brand-building engagement and earned media opportunities, in addition to leading influencer and social media tactics for various campaigns.

Prior to that I was the Social Media Specialist at Tempus Labs., a biotech company advancing precision medicine through genomic sequencing and the power of data.

I mostly led organic and paid social media efforts- from strategy to creative direction- but I also lent my hand in other digital tactics- like managing the SEO agency and assisting with Email marketing.

I started the first three years of my career at Ketchum, the global communications firm, where I supported Food, Agriculture, CPG and Home clients across traditional and digital PR.

Day-to-day was always changing, from leading social media execution for All-Clad cookware to managing a Kleenex influencer campaign to securing feature stories for Manitoba Harvest hemp foods & CBD.
