Lauren Thompson

“Lauren is a fantastic person to work with. We worked together on four major projects, from discovery to builds. We established new ways of working, developed design systems and launched new brands. Lauren is a very experienced problem-solver and has a tremendous capacity to go deep and quickly become an expert in new fields. She has an excellent understanding of different crafts (design and engineering), allowing her to have a holistic point of view that helps immensely in working and enhancing each other. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed working with Lauren at Fusion Labs. We overlapped closely on a few client projects (most notably Mirvac) and her operational excellence always helped ensure clarity with stakeholders and delivery of outcomes being on-time and on-budget. Her design flair brought strategy and process plans to life in a far more engaging manner and her ability to span the highest level oversight yet dig into the most nuanced details when necessary was a real super-power.”

“It was a pleasure working alongside Lauren building new and innovative new products for NRMA Insurance such as NRMA Fireblanket and Safer Homes. She is a passionate and highly skilled product design lead who is an excellent collaborator and partner. Lauren brought knowledge, expertise and a natural curiosity for cutting-edge technologies and innovative new ways of working to each of the projects we worked on.”

“Lauren has been a pleasure to work with over the past year that she’s been working actively on the IKEA account. She is incredibly client-focused and I’ve always been confident that she has the needs of the brand at the forefront of her work. Lauren is incredibly organised, reliable and gets things done! Her strategic recommendations in the digital arena have pushed us out of our comfort zone and I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved together.”

“I have worked with Lauren on multiple high profile projects for the Commonwealth Bank. Lauren has always demonstrated acute ability to get the job done, detailed project panning and transparency across deadlines and project outcomes. This is further strengthened by her follow through to results and any ongoing optimisations that can be made. Lauren is fantastic to work with, friendly personable and very reliable. She has great experience in the digital space and continually adds value through her digital acumen. ”

“Lauren has a unique ability to add energy to the room, bring fresh perspectives and manage tricky clients ”

“
Lauren has been integral part of our team. She managed to combine her infectious laughter and unending positivity with an ability to keep everyone to task – making her loved by both clients and teammates.”

“Lauren is smart, driven and eager to learn. She is brilliant at understanding people, and leads teams with positive energy and efficiency. Lauren always seems to get the best out of people.
During my time working with Lauren, she implemented processes and ways of working that benefited not only the team but the wider agency and clients.”

“Lauren is the smart operator everyone yearns to have in their team. She knows how to both set junior staff up for success and ‘manage up’ to help executives achieve their best outcomes. Working with Lauren always brings a smile, she has a refreshing energy behind everything she does. I look forward our paths meeting again soon!”

“Wow, this lady is phenomenal. Lauren brought me on board to Five To Nine when working remotely wasn’t a big thing. We build a lovely little business and she exposed me to such an incredible brain. Hers. She is a machine when it comes to platforms, efficiencies and general communication. She is a delight to work with and I foresee that that journey will not be our last journey to travel. I would work with Lauren again in heartbeat, that work ethic and enthusiasm is something anyone would benefit from.”
