"Lauren couldn’t have joined this team at a more important time. As we approach our 30 year anniversary at BSSP, it feels like a new beginning. Our roster of clientele has grown and evolved, and with Lauren’s phenomenal background I am confident that BSSP will continue to flourish – with new client engagements we’ve been wanting to lead and grow."

"I’ve always been aware of BSSP’s iconic work — all the way from Blue Shield to MINI to the Priceline Negotiator. But what truly drew me in and got me excited about joining the agency was momentum and vision. BSSP has an incredible ability to tap into core consumer insights and bring those to life through compelling and intriguing work. When I started interviewing I realized that was because they focus on hiring the kindest and most empathetic creators – not just in their creative departments, but across the entire organization. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this team, and can’t wait to see what we do this year."
This appointment highlights the continued focus on expansion and evolution at BSSP as it enters its 30th year in business, and as the team continues to build upon its diversified and fully-integrated creative offering.
