Who ARe We

I Asked Top Executives What They’d Tell Their Younger Selves and Their Surprising Advice Could Change How You Think About Success

Lauren Douglass · May 20, 2025


Top 5 Themes:
1.
Be Freakin Patient
2. Your Path Doesn’t Need to Make Sense
3. Sometimes You Have to Jump
4. Stay curious. That’s your edge
5. Find people who light you up. Follow them.

We all look back at our younger selves with a mix of “eek” and “yikes.” And I couldn’t help but wonder if that is the case for even the most successful people. Do the top leaders have advice for their younger selves? So I asked them to tell us...

Lauren The Seeker hosted an exclusive, invite-only dinner that threw the traditional networking script out the window. The concept? No agenda. No work speak. Just real conversation. In a world where every connection can feel transactional, this evening offered a rare chance for top marketers to simply show up as themselves. Over shared stories and incredible food, guests forged connections that went far beyond job titles and business cards. At Reverve, we believe the best ideas are born when people connect authentically, and this night was proof.

No panels. No small talk. Just real connection, good wine, and even better company, all captured with pro photo and video for ongoing content use.

PR is Dead. So I Started a PR Agency. Go Figure.

Lauren Douglass · May 28, 2025


Welcome to Strategic Visibility
Not long ago, PR sat comfortably in its silo. Press releases went out, headlines came back, and everyone clinked glasses at the coverage even if it was buried behind a paywall no one clicked. The formula was simple. Linear. Predictable.

But attention doesn’t move in straight lines anymore.

People flip from Substack to TikTok to trade publications without stopping to ask which department “owns” the message. News hits, but only when it feels personal, timely, or useful. Most brands haven’t caught up.

The truth? Traditional PR is dead.
The better truth? What’s replacing it is smarter, faster, more connected and far more interesting.

For me, it’s always about the connection. This is a space to kick off the year, reconnect with people you haven’t seen, and have meaningful conversations about what’s ahead. It’s a moment to set intentions and lay the foundation for the year to come, and can help build an understanding of what people are concerned about or have on the brain.

Christine Maguire

Most agencies still treat communications as a silo. We don’t. We build strategic narratives that work across earned, owned, and paid channels because that's how real influence happens.

Reverve helped us crack the code on our messaging, archetype, and sales narrative that had plagued our company for 5 years.
Amanda Martin
Chief Revenue Officer, Mediavine
Let’s be honest, traditional PR tactics like press releases or boilerplate statements can fail to resonate. The era of generic corporate-speak is over because the people you want to reach desire more. They are humans who respond to human stories, human messages, human interactions. Reverve exists because the traditional levers of marketing don’t work like they once did.
