A native of Midwest City, Oklahoma, Lauren Von founded Quintessa Marketing in 2016. Lauren, a sales and marketing professional known for her passion for entrepreneurship and supporting women in business, now lives in Edmond with her husband, Leo, and their five children.

Lauren is a skilled speaker and frequent podcast guest with expertise in distilling complex problems down to real solutions. A proud member of Life.Church, she’s been a featured speaker at Christian women’s business conference EquipHer, and continues to open doors for female business owners by offering them support, mentoring, and funding.

In 2016, I was the COO of a law firm, but I struggled to advance in my career. As a single mother without a college degree, I hit a glass ceiling, and I decided to make a move to control my destiny.

I saw an opportunity in legal marketing to deliver real value and transparency to PI attorneys and started Quintessa Marketing. Since taking that leap of faith, I have grown Quintessa into a multi-million dollar company and redefined how personal injury law firms secure plaintiffs through retainers, not leads.

Having experienced financial difficulties firsthand, I am passionate about supporting female business owners and entrepreneurs. I decided to help them navigate obstacles and thrive in their endeavors through knowledge, education, and sheer perseverance. I believe in fostering a culture of empowerment, enabling others to seize new opportunities and enhance their business expertise.

As Quintessa grew in success, Lauren felt moved to give back to the community by supporting causes close to her faith and values. Since 2020, 50% of Quintessa’s profits have been donated to charity.

Lauren saw how this generosity served her community — and in turn, grew her business. She created the Give Fifty Pledge with a belief that Corporate Social Responsibility can do more, be more, and provide more success.

Businesses that take the Give Fifty Pledge promise to donate 50% of their profits for a day, a week, a month, or even longer to charity. Turning profits into purpose and building businesses has never been so easy.
