Lauren Hauptman Ink

BUILDING BETTER BUSINESS STORIES THROUGH WORDS AND PICTURES

A seasoned communications professional with more than three decades of marketing-communications experience in a variety of environments, Lauren Hauptman is a versatile writer/editor/designer with a sense of style and extensive expertise.

She is the principal of Lauren Hauptman Ink, through which she provides editorial and creative services for a wide variety of businesses, organizations and publications. A raging New Yorker, she spent many years as a long-term tourist in San Francisco, where she further developed her freakishly attuned talent for improving the work of others.

A volunteer member of the behavioral team for Muttville senior-dog rescue, she revolves everything in her life around her dog, a tedoodle named Ezra. Lauren likes painting in other countries, football (Penn State, Giants), baseball (Yankees), shopping, theater and baked goods — not necessarily in that order.

The Sponsorship Catalyst

The Sponsorship Catalyst (TSC) is a fundraising education agency that empowers nonprofits to secure impactful event sponsorships, unlocking multi-figure deals with mission-aligned brands, so they can increase their impact, revenue, and partnerships. We revolutionize the sponsorship landscape by bridging the gap between sponsors and nonprofit organizations of all sizes by bringing quality education, innovation, and scalable sponsorship strategies that offer meaningful partnerships and drive high impact.
