ABOUT LAUREN

Lauren Jones is an executive leader and advisor who has spent over 15 years working at the intersection of creative, digital, advocacy, and social impact.

She currently leads executive client strategy and accounts at Wide Eye, a creative studio that partners with nonprofits, foundations, and civic institutions doing some of the most important work of our time. Previously, as Senior Director of Client Experience at Hyperakt, she guided brand transformations for some of the sector's most consequential organizations. After a previous decade of direct nonprofit work, she brings the perspective of someone who has sat on both sides of the table, and uses that vantage point to help clients move with clarity and confidence.

She is also a founding partner of Tomato Laboratories, a pro bono creative agency supporting artists and arts nonprofits; a cofounder of Forward Union, an arts nonprofit connecting social justice organizations with artists and creative communities; and a founding board member of Rest Energy, a nonprofit community for arts and culture workers.
