Lauren Ramsey is a Social Story Teller. Throughout her life, she has lived in five countries and visited thirty countries across four continents. At a young age, she not only knew how to adapt to new environments, cultures, and ways of life, but she did not see it as anything other than normal. Throughout her life and career, this unique skillset has complimented her analytical mind and helped her to adapt to new teams, understand problems from a different point of view and find new ways to tackle and solve any problem. Lauren graduated from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX with a double major in Managment Information Systems and Business. In high school, her passion for technology led her to sign up for HTML and C++ courses, and her passion for story-telling compelled her to write a journal of her High School memories complete with trinkets, mementos, and photos that she passed around each week to her friends to help them re-live and remember their times together. You could say, it was her first blog before blogs even existed. In her college years, she studied business, finance, marketing, and management as well as software design, data analysis, and coding. After graduating from college, she worked full time in IT Project Managment and part-time at Radio Disney. She has managed million dollar projects as well as learned branding and promotions from the best in the business. Lauren has built a career around celebrating the creativity of others, while also measuring and analyzing the success of their creative pursuits, and being flexible enough to chase different answers if the current plan isn’t working. On a daily basis, she can be found creating social media strategies and posts for her clients at Betsy Bash, and content strategy, articles and podcast episodes for LaurenIgnited.com, an online magazine for music, food, travel and culture enthusiasts.

Sociality Squared is a woman-owned full-service social media agency founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City. We’ve been building communities and creating compelling content since before Instagram or YouTube appeared on our phones. But while social networks keep changing, there’s one thing that remains the same no matter which platform or technology we use: we help people discover and connect to what they value and love. “Sociality” means people coming together in communities, exchanging ideas, and being social, whether that’s over a dinner table or online. We’re community builders and our social media work enables exponential growth for our clients’ communities and companies. Did you know that our brains light up when we hear stories?! We actually process them differently, and since the beginning of humankind, we’ve used stories to understand the world, to learn, communicate, and connect to one another. We work with our clients to help craft and flawlessly execute their stories online. In today’s fast-paced, mobile world, we have a short timespan to capture people’s attention. For example, 47% of the value in video campaigns happens in the first 3 seconds – and with the sound off. We use an integrated, social-first approach to bring your brand alive online. Every piece of content needs to stand on its own, while supporting the bigger picture. We know the sum is greater than its parts. That’s why we optimize stories for each channel and format, to reach and resonate – down to what hashtag is most meaningful to your community. We create stories that inspire, engage, and connect, and make an impact that lasts far longer than 3 seconds.

We are an award-winning digital marketing agency that works with companies in a variety of sectors, including Fortune 100 companies, global nonprofits and social impact companies, and small to mid-sized businesses. We have offices in Chicago and Madison, WI and work with clients with regional, national, and global presences. We build strong in-house teams through independent audits of search and social media programs, coaching and trainings, and content planning sessions designed to get your team on the same page. For companies that wish to use external bandwidth, we offer retainer-based social media management, and paid Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter campaigns. A few areas of advertising specialty are LinkedIn advertising, public awareness campaigns, and event and conference ticket sales. CEO + Chief Strategist Sarah Best has won seven awards for her work including best use of a social media platform from Travel + Leisure Magazine. Her work has been featured in Mashable, TechCrunch, Crain's Chicago Business, National Geographic Traveler, Chicago Tribune, and other publications. She was tapped to speak at Social Media Week for the MacArthur Foundation, has twice been tapped for SXSW Interactive, and is a US Travel Association and regional American Marketing Association conference speaker. She is an alumna of New York University and the University of Chicago, a Rotarian, and on the board of several nonprofits.
