Laura Baldwin
Creative Marketer | Strategist | Writer
I'm a creative communicator with a passion for solving puzzles. As a writer and strategist, I focus on finding the balance between smart and creative to deliver eye-catching, effective content that drives results.
I’m a researcher at heart with a flair for learning new skills and I thrive in innovative environments where data and storytelling intersect. I’m a start-to-finish marketer, following through with a brainstormed idea to its launch and analyzing performance after.
Over the past fifteen years, I have advised and developed solutions for small business, government agencies, municipalities, higher education, non-profit organizations, healthcare, and tourism clients with marketing challenges ranging from brand development, public outreach campaigns, fundraising, sales, and customer retention.
