Lauren Cody
Fractional Operations Executive and Operating Advisor
Advanced Interactions provides fractional CMO and strategic consulting services to growth-focused companies that need marketing leadership without the commitment of a full-time executive.
I partner with new and scaling businesses to build marketing strategies and the operational systems needed to execute them. My approach combines strategic marketing thinking with process discipline—helping companies move from reactive tactics to scalable, repeatable growth engines.
Senior marketing leadership to define your GTM plan, sharpen positioning, and drive measurable growth.
Streamlined processes, tools, and routines that help your marketing run faster, cleaner, and more consistently.
Role clarity and hiring priorities that build the right team at the right time—without overbuilding.
Unifying brands, messaging, and teams after an acquisition so you launch as one cohesive story.
Clear priorities, timelines, and accountability systems that turn strategy into weekly progress.
Build smart, fair agency/vendor selection processes tailored to your goals and internal realities.
We start with a focused deep dive into your business, customers, and competitive landscape—clarifying goals, current performance, and what’s driving (or blocking) growth.
I assess your positioning, messaging, and go-to-market engine—pinpointing gaps across the funnel, channel mix, handoffs, and the moments where momentum is getting lost.
You’ll receive a tailored, stage-appropriate roadmap with clear priorities, recommendations, and quick wins—aligned to your vertical, maturity stage, and revenue goals.
Based on what you need, I can lead key initiatives, build the operating rhythm (KPIs, dashboards, cadences), coach your team, and provide steady guidance through rollout or transition.
I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Cody for over four years on projects spanning strategy, product launches, sales operations, and go-to-market planning. She’s both a strategic thinker and a relentless executor—able to drive alignment across teams and rally even the most opinionated leaders around a shared goal. Lauren leads with clarity and empathy, earning deep respect from peers and teams alike. She understands how to scale businesses holistically, and I recommend her wholeheartedly for senior leadership roles.
Lauren really defines operational excellence. She’s incredibly organized, detail oriented, efficient, and passionate. It’s been so great working with her because whatever area she’s owning or working on, you never have to think twice about it. She can effectively corral different and opinionated leaders around a common objective, which isn’t an easy feat! Lauren is also the consummate team-player. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren as an operator and business leader and would very much enjoy working with her again in the future.
Simply put, Lauren is awesome! She has been my go-to person to get things done and help me lead the company. She is highly productive and is willing to learn and put those learnings to good use. She brings a positive energy and calm confidence that inspires others to do good work and have fun along the way. She is willing to tackle any challenge and can put process in place, making order out of chaos. She is a bright and talented leader that is easy to recommend!
Lauren is a rock star... She has a deep understanding of, and an ability to execute within, the disciplines of sales operations, sales support and customer relationship management. Her effort will help expand any sales pipeline. She also has a good sense of marketing and how it couples with sales to grow the profit center.
I bring 19 years of Fortune 500 agency experience, including nearly a decade in C-suite operational roles. I don't just consult—I roll up my sleeves to build the systems, processes, and team structures that turn strategy into results.
Whether you're entering the market, preparing for your next stage of growth, navigating an acquisition, or need to professionalize your marketing function, I help you build clarity, alignment, and momentum.
