About Me
About Me
I am an avid entrepreneur with 16 years of experience in marketing. I graduated in 2008 from the University of Missouri in Columbia with a degree in communications with a minor in political science. I spent several months in Washington D.C. as an intern during my college career writing constituent letters and giving capital tours for the late Congressman Ike Skelton. I received my graduate degree from Drury University in Springfield, MO and graduated in 2013 with a Master of Arts Degree in Communications with an emphasis in Integrated Marketing.
During my professional career as the marketing director for Hogan Land Title Company, I received 417 magazines “20 under 30” award, Springfield Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” award and was awarded as Affiliate of the Year from the Greater Springfield Board of Realtors.
I decided to leave my corporate career to start my own business in 2020 called Onie and Sky. As a team, we made more than 10,000 pieces of custom jewelry shipping worldwide and served more than 60 retailers. I gave back a percentage on every purchase either to melanoma research or a strategic partnership with various non-profit organizations in the local community. I sold the company two years later and begun my focus solely on Laurie Marketing that I started in 2017, which I rebranded to Scattered Marketing. I am in sales working for Advertising Plus helping business owners, marketing directors, non-profits and others design and create custom merchandise.
I serve on the Board of Directors with Friends of the Zoo. I also founded the Black Loves Blue event benefitting The Springfield Police Foundation where we raised more than $100,000 for education, training and equipment.
My husband, Spencer and I have three beautiful children, Sloane, Skylar, and Jackson. We enjoy being outdoors, traveling and cooking.
Do it with passion or not at all
Imagine how much you can accomplish if you out-sourced the stuff you can do, but simply don’t want to do because your priorities are on bigger and better things.
My objective is always to create meaningful content & marketing strategies for passionate business owners and entrepreneurs.
I understand the challenges to stay ahead in the ever-changing industry that we seem to equally love & hate called marketing.
My goal is to echo your voice and vision while staying ahead of the trends so you can do what you’re best at and get back to business.
