About Lori

The best way to have a massive impact on the world doesn’t come from playing it safe. Too many people today hedge their bets with plan B’s, C’s and even D’s. It gets so convoluted at times you forget what plan A even was.

Playing to win means you keep your eye on the ball and you swing for the fences. And while winning might not be everything, I believe wanting to is!

Just like the famous beloved champion race horse Secretariat knew that magical day when he won the Triple crown, averaging speeds of 37.5 miles per hour, out in front the entire time racing only the wind and crossing the finish line 31 lengths ahead of the nearest horse…

Only you set the limits of what you can do!

Unshackling my soul from the corporate world with a leap of faith in 2009 I started my own agency REV Media Marketing llc, coining the phrase given to me by my young son, “You bring the rain, we’ll make it pour.” I learned to run my own race from my heart, with the mantra, “say what you do and do what you say, and always show people you care.”

Everything I do is fueled by these beliefs. From angel investing in disruptive startups (like Klout) to motivational speaking to marketing consulting, I always want to challenge myself, my friends and my clients to “run your own race” ; cautioning you to never change who you are.

Recently a client asked me how much it would cost and if could I guarantee results.  They wanted me to promise I could transform their marketing strategy into a heartfelt game changer that went viral all over the web.

And I gave them the same answer I’d give to anyone who asked….

“Going viral is not an outcome; it’s a happening. Sometimes it happens; sometimes it doesn’t.  Just remember, fans are vanity and sales are sanity. It’s up to you how crazy you can afford to be. Focus on being extraordinary but relevant to build the best buzz for your brand you can.”
