LAUREN HEALY

Hi, I’m Lauren—a creative leader who builds brands through emotional storytelling and operational excellence. With a background in art direction and 20+ years of agency and in-house experience across insurance, telecom, CPG, finance, fashion, food, and pharma, I’ve launched 30+ national commercials, helped Lean Cuisine reach the billion‑dollar mark, and earned recognition from Clios and Cannes.

Today I run Social & Video at Guardian, where I’ve modernized production (smarter briefs, clear roles, tighter workflows), scaled in‑house capabilities, and plugged AI into the process to deliver speed, savings, and best‑in‑class creative. While I lead the team, I'm forever a creator—rolling up my sleeves to concept and craft right alongside. The outcome: award wins and performance that moves the needle.

I’m at my best mentoring teams, amplifying great ideas, and creating a high‑trust environment where designers, art directors, writers, editors, animators, and producers do the strongest work of their careers. If the brief calls for work that’s beautiful, useful, and undeniably human—let’s make it. If it doesn’t, well then we’ll fix it! Say hello at
