About Laura Connell

If you\'re looking for someone who can blend strategic thinking with a playful approach to problem-solving, you\'ve come to the right profile. With experience in leading global teams and driving innovative market research strategies, I bring a unique perspective to every project I undertake.But don\'t let the serious stuff fool you - stemming from my background in design, I\'m also a firm believer in the power of creativity to unlock new possibilities. I\'m always looking for unconventional ways to uncover insights. I’ve presented findings at events such as Advertising Week, Quirks, and Hook. I’m featured in key media and agency publications such as MarTech, Retail TouchPoints and WWD.
