Lauren Overby
loverby @ deveney.com
Since joining the team in 2009, Lauren has served primarily as Deveney Communication’s resident animal enthusiast. With a profound love of dogs in costume that defies logic and a general level of social acceptability, this South Carolina native and PR graduate of the University of Alabama has embraced New Orleans and the Deveney pack with the enthusiasm and energy of her four-legged friends.
In addition to diligently updating the outfits on the team’s plastic flamingo to reflect holidays and weather conditions, Lauren has flourished professionally as a Communication Strategist at Deveney. She has taken the lead on several accounts in the Lifestyle sector, including Feld Entertainment, Rock 'n' Roll Mardi Gras Marathon and 1/2 Marathon, Hyatt Regency New Orleans and Tour de Lis, a local bike ride to support and fund cancer awareness. As the dog whisperer of community and media relations, Lauren leads the public relations and marketing efforts for Stanocola Clinic in Baton Rouge, the nation’s oldest continually operating pre-paid health plan, as well as the local office of Fisher and Phillips, focusing on promoting nationwide employment and labor law issues. Lauren also spearheads the community awareness campaign for GuLF Study, a federal health study examining potential health effects of the Gulf Oil Spill cleanup workers. Just call her Cesar Milan.
Finding Lauren around town is easy as she is involved with the local chapters of PRSA and IABC, in addition to expanding her paw print in the New Orleans social media community.
