Laurén Chalmers

During a 25-year career that spanned marketing, promotions, and sales, Laurén worked for McDonald’s, via Simon Marketing, on both adult (Monopoly, Splash for Cash) and Happy Meal promotions. Laurén’s contributions to the latter helped usher in a new era of movie marketing partnerships for McDonald’s and ultimately revolutionized children’s promotions across the entire fast-food industry. She spent the next dozen years as West Coast Director of Sales for several national magazines published by Condé Nast, Time, and Hearst, among others, working with Fortune-500 clients in all 13 western states and serving as the keynote speaker at 17 national sales meetings.
