Re: Reference for Lauren O’Malley

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to provide this letter of reference for Lauren O’Malley who joined Bishop-McCann

on March 20th as a Creative & Production Coordinator. In a full-time capacity, Lauren supported

both our creative (graphic design, creative experience) and executive production teams. She

also owned design projects independently for clients and internally.

Lauren is a stellar project manager, she’s meticulous, creative and receives positive feedback

from clients and internal stakeholders. As an internal stakeholder myself, Lauren joined several

calls with third party vendors on design projects (email campaigns, marketing materials,

presentations, etc). She is a fantastic listener, a trusted advisor and works quickly to meet

deadlines. She produces great designs and a great aesthetic. She reviewed design collaterals

and gave candid and clear feedback. She’s also just fun to work with and is a strong fit with our

company culture, where we value collaboration, impact, inclusion and curiosity. In the last

month, Lauren was going onsite to work closely with executive producers and act in a

production assistant capacity on corporate events. She’s very quick to learn and add value.

This month our company had to make some difficult decisions to reduce headcount and

Lauren’s position was unfortunately eliminated. The decision had nothing to do with

performance, rather it was due to being the last person hired on the team.

I believe Lauren’s skills, approach to work and ethic will make her a wonderful addition to any team.


Sincerely,

Melanie Maddock, SPHR

Vice President, Talent & Culture
