About Lauren McCabe

I’m a senior-level business leader with experience across corporate, consumer, executive and internal communications for a global media company. I’m a proven strategic partner to executive leaders and teams with a track record of delivering effective, high-impact and strategic media relations campaigns that support key business initiatives. I’m a hands-on, humble, collaborative leader adept at developing partnerships across disciplines and navigating within large, matrixed organizations. For the last 20 years, I’ve helped brands and executives tell their stories and meaningfully connect with their consumers. And now, I’m looking for my next opportunity.A little about my brand. I’m an incredibly hard worker who is equal parts strategic thinker, creative collaborator and excellent executor of plans. I’m a hands-on leader of highly functioning teams and love working cross-functionally with partners to support business initiatives.My experience within media is diverse: I\'ve handled communications for the technology, distribution, licensing and consumer products, ad sales, home entertainment and live events teams. I’ve also led network communications for a cable brand and supported key sports partnerships and music releases.I’ve led teams and supported businesses with no previous experience and I’m very comfortable as an outsider who learns and adapts quickly. I’ve found you can often get more interesting results when there is no playbook and you can look at something through an outsider’s lens.I’ve worked on everything from internal and executive communications to media relations to crisis communications to customer communications and social messaging – and for some of the world’s largest brands. I’ve worked on campaigns that launched global streaming services, earned Emmy Award nominations, evolved network brands, managed through crises, mergers and much more. I’ve earned the trust of C-level executives and senior leadership teams and helped to define a narrative around critical business needs and objectives. I’ve led communications for large global teams through sweeping organizational changes, industry shifts, workforce reductions, product launches, acquisitions and more.I’ve worked with every type of external partner - talent (and reps), production partners, distribution/platform partners, advertisers/sponsors, events production teams, sports leagues, agency partners, corporate overlords and more – as well as internal teams across a highly matrixed organization.
