Lauren Reed, REED Public Relations (Nashville Business Radio, Episode 5)

Lauren Reed, Founder of REED Public Relations, joined host John Ray to share business lessons she gained from a Mt. Kilimanjaro climb, how those lessons prepared her for the pandemic, how her firm has guided clients with crisis communications needs during the economic distress of the last year, and much more. “Nashville Business Radio” is produced virtually from the Nashville studio of Business RadioX®.

REED Public Relations

REED PR is here to help brands… big global ones, local entrepreneurial ones. They don’t discriminate.

They help their clients reach their business goals through strategic campaigns, attention-grabbing events and smart messages deployed both on and offline.

They’re also here because of their core values. These are the tenets that guide their decision-making in business and in the way they see the world. Through REED’s Be the Good program, they put our money where their mouth is and invest in the changemakers who want to positively and proactively push the world forward.

REED Public Relations is  little bit different than some of the players in their industry. Their senior leadership is connected to the work and remains involved and invested once a scope is signed. No matter how fast they continue to grow, that will remain a constant.

Clients come to them for many reasons. Product launches and influencer activations. Messaging strategy and content creation. Crisis communication and media relations. Ultimately, no matter the engagement, they solve a very human problem: Brands want to be known and liked.

Creating strong relationships and partnerships within a community doesn’t just make a brand successful: it’s inherent to survival. Survival starts locally in neighborhoods. Stories still travel from neighbor to neighbor, buoyed by new networks and evolving technologies.

REED is here to help you tell your story and turn neighborhoods into nations.
