Lauren Bacon
Many of my presentations are co-presented with Emira Mears, so I'm including our joint writeup here. For more details on my professional background, please refer to my professional bio here.
Lauren and Emira are the co-founders of Raised Eyebrow Web Studio, Inc., a Vancouver-based, five-person company specializing in online strategy, design and development for nonprofits, government and progressive businesses. They are known for their commitment to open and honest communication—in fact, they believe that's what the web is all about. (Yes, they’re idealists at heart, but the most practical kind.) Raised Eyebrow’s work is defined by collaborative process, user-focused design, thoughtful planning and thorough attention to detail.
Business partners, best friends, and co-authors of The Boss of You, a groundbreaking guidebook for independent-minded female entrepreneurs, these two dynamic young women offer an uncommon blend of down-to-earth advice, intelligence, good humour, creativity, and style. They are available for a variety of speaking engagements, from keynotes to interactive workshops.
Lauren and Emira design their talks to address the needs of your event, and would love to hear from you about your group’s membership and goals. Past themes include:
- Shaping Your Digital Footprint: Create an online identity that’s consistent with your values

- Do It Yourself Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Non Profits and Small Businesses
