LaurenHober
Born in Guam, raised in Las Vegas, and currently residing in Reno, Lauren Hober is no stranger to traveling the world (and planning thorough itineraries as she goes). After graduating from the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno, she traipsed around Africa and Europe for a year. Part of exploring new countries and cultures is meeting new people—and, as an empathetic and caring individual, Lauren loves connecting with others.
It’s been a pretty wild ride for Lauren. She gained experience in marketing early on when she worked at University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) and Little Waldorf Saloon. Once she returned to the States from her various travels, she worked at Patagonia, SCHED, and Noble Studios. Her vast experience helps her not only create results-oriented strategies and a stellar client experience, but also an inclusive, joyous work environment for everyone to thrive in.
In fact, this skill is one of the many reasons why we welcomed her aboard in 2023 as one of our account managers, promoted to senior account manager in January 2026, and then became our business development manager in August 2026. Marketing, she's found, is less about selling ideas and more about understanding people. The work she loves most is built on trust: listening closely, solving problems thoughtfully, and clearing away the small inefficiencies that make everyone's day a little harder than it needs to be.
That same love of people and connection led Lauren to the board of the Holland Project, where she now serves as Board Chair. Helping keep a place like that alive, for the next person who needs it, means a lot to her.
Lauren is the life of the party, at work or in her inner circle. She loves quite a few things, so allow us to break them down for you:
- She'll pick reading or swimming over almost anything else; both reset her completely
- Hanging out with her friends at dinner parties, on trips, and at their annual film festival
- Asking her labradoodle, Poppy, where she got the audacity to be so cute
- Practicing her flower-arranging skills at home or at a local workshop
- Anything to do with music, such as curating playlists and attending concerts
If you ever need a quick laugh, homemade treats, a new tune for your workout playlist, or someone to plan your next vacation for you, hit up Lauren. (Disclaimers: She does not promise the goodies will be any good, BUT her itineraries will be packed with so many thoughtful and thrilling touches that you might just want to invite her along.)
