Work

Problem, system, result.

Every case is written the same way: the problem, what was built, and the result. Each one also says whose work it was. Some are Storyworlding client engagements. Some are roles Lauren held in-house, before the firm and alongside it. Companies we build ourselves are on the Ventures page. Names are used with permission, and the numbers are the company's own.

Client engagement / Growth, DTC furniture

Benchmade Modern

Problem. A made-to-order furniture brand with a long consideration cycle and a paid program that had plateaued.

What we built. Full-funnel paid media rebuilt around consideration, CRM personalization by product interest, and conversion testing on the configurator.

Result. $240K to $1.2M in monthly revenue over 28 months, at a 9.6x return on marketing spend.
