OUR TEAM
Lauri Shoemake,
Marketing Strategist
iMarc Consulting started in 2011, when the passions of a B2B/B2C marketing professional turned her attention to the remodeling/construction industry. With a not-so-secret obsession with home remodeling and interior design, Lauri's life’s work in marketing suddenly finally found its way home. She discovered several hard-working, customer-centric business owners around the country who were struggling with marketing to effectively grow their remodeling or construction business.
Her excitement and enthusiasm revolve around developing a self-sustaining marketing strategy for business owners that starts with their Mission, Vision, Values and Culture—discovering who they are, what they do and why they do it.
Now, iMarc has steadfast loyalty and an unwavering commitment to growing your business, which involves handling the heavy lifting of marketing—strategy, planning, management, creative, talent, and more—and integrating everything seamlessly for you.
Take comfort in partnering with a marketing consultant who has followed her passion by combining her love for interior design/remodeling with 30+ years of experience as a marketing professional. You benefit from both.
