LAUREN GOTTLIEB
JOB TITLE: Associate director, business development EMEA
COMPANY: MediaCom
BASED: UK

Describe an occasion where you have made a decisive contribution to your own brand or your client’s business.

Early this year I had the opportunity to organise our company’s EMEA conference where we welcomed CEOs and managing directors from over 30 countries in Europe and demonstrated our latest innovations, successes and strategies on how we want to move the company forward over the next few months. My role was to oversee and help steer all content, in order to make sure we were delivering provocative, relevant input that would contribute to raising the bar across the region.

Why are you one of the industry’s hottest young talents?

I’d like to think the 50-plus pitches for large and small clients alike I’ve worked on, the relationships I’ve built with my peers, department heads and CEOs from around the world, the systems and strategies I have helped implement, and the organisation and processes I have helped create to drive growth for MediaCom at 28 years old are something to be proud of. A good starting point, certainly!
