Laurene Rodriguez

Hi! I'm Laurene Rodriguez. Born, raised, and educated in New Mexico, I love our great city and state. I'm a UNM graduate and a life-long student. After graduating with my EMBA and working in advertising for several years, I decided to start my own journey helping the small businesses in our city. I care deeply about the state of business at a local level. I desire to see local  organization and companies thrive, not just survive. I'm a girl for a passion with all things digital and my goal is to use this passion to help local businesses find their digital identities. From brand development to social media to digital advertising, my knowledge is ever increasing and I'm thrilled to share the future of digital marketing with the local business community of New Mexico.
