Meet the junkies
We don’t do boring. We don’t do basic. We work with brands that make people feel something — and we bring the same energy to every project.

Growing up Amanda dabbled in almost every art form she could. She failed at Violin, was in more recitals and dance competitions than she could count, and even interned as a lighting designer for a nightclub in her college town. Her love of creativity stemmed from a young age and never stopped, leading her to intern for a Miami-based branding company creating verbal and visual brand identities for brands like Bacardi and Medtronic. She applied her eye for design and ear for sound copy to working for a healthcare company and eventually for a Miami food and lifestyle blog, creating communication, social and PR strategy. She experienced what she likes to call her “quarter-century life crisis” and moved to New York, where she found herself managing and overseeing strategy for multi-million dollar retail stores in Manhattan. Her time working behind the scenes in marketing and in-front of the curtain in retail management has led her to become a Jane-of-all-trades. When Amanda’s not taking on new projects, she’s traveling (like the Sagittarius that she is), dancing the night away at Brooklyn Mirage, or trying every new restaurant/bar in Williamsburg with her one-eyed Chihuahua Patsy Cline.

Lauren entered the world of branding in college when she started her own clothing line, Studded Youth. She would thrift old mom jeans, transform them into studded high waisted shorts and sell them on Tumblr, Facebook, and at college football games, resulting in International sales. That venture led her to pursue a degree in Advertising/Public Relations & Creative Writing. After graduating, she entered the industry as an assistant at an ad agency, where she quickly moved into a junior copywriting role. She then followed her passion for writing and worked as a staff writer for a health and beauty magazine. After following her call to move to New York City, she was hired as a copywriter for a independent beauty brand where she was put in charge of all social media and digital copy. After years of working for that brand, she tried her hand at freelancing. As a part-time bartender, she accumulated a total of 13 restaurants/bars, where she managed all aspects of their social media. A true Virgo at heart, Lauren is mad for to do lists and has a passion for crossing things off of them. When she is not working on her to do lists, you can find her in a headstand on her yoga mat, eating seafood for as many meals as humanly possible, or deeply analyzing the world around her through a psychological lens and Snapchat-ing about it.
