ABOUT LAUREN TRAUT

Sharp writer who understands how to deliver a message quickly and with clarity. Excellent project manager who evaluates talent, creates and executes programs. Impeccable interpersonal skills. I\'ve progressed from a player in the field to a team manager to a specialized operator supporting and executing department strategy.I thrive in fast-paced work environments and opportunities to engage with an audience, and deliver content that matters. A proven leader, I tackle any challenge placed in front of me with gusto and pride. An uncommon feel for sparking engagement with news and information combine with a knack for marketing and community outreach to make me an invaluable asset to any team. In my time as a local editor with Patch.com, I immersed myself in the south suburbs of Chicago, connecting with the people and sharing their stories. I am proud to have made myself the face of the Patch brand across my readership, and then later went on to use that in-depth knowledge of our audience to select top talent to join our national editorial team. Previous experience at Patch also includes assessing and analyzing traffic, increasing engagement both on-site and through social media, and boosting brand awareness. I have effectively managed staff, project development, marketing, content creation and expenses.
