Background

About Laura Early

Born entrepreneur with a striking knack for cultivating Pittsburgh-based talent. I was born and raised in Southwestern PA, and am proud to call Pittsburgh home for the last 18 years. During these last nearly two decades, I've made an indelible mark on our city in advertising, publishing and now as the Chief Marketing Officer of early: media collective – a boutique creative services agency that promotes an array of clients, from our city’s burgeoning restaurant scene to interior designers and more. Graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Economics, I have a passion for spotting what’s innovative, fresh and fun and helping my clients raise their visibility and make invaluable connections with each other. I have extensive experience applying my marketing talents to good causes – over the years I have directed numerous successful fundraising events in Pittsburgh. My work on the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix event helped to raise over for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh, while my work on a celebrity chef cook-off generated over for “Glimmer of Hope,” which benefits breast cancer research. A recent achievement of being nominated in Pittsburgh 50's Finest, class of 2017 I was able to raise in support of the Western PA Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis. When I am not promoting the movers and shakers of Pittsburgh, I can be found enjoying all that our amazing city Pittsburgh has to offer.
