HEY THERE,
I'm Anneliese Lawton
I'm a strategic marketing consultant, brand storyteller, mental health champion, and Founder. I'm the Chief Marketing Officer of Lawton & Co., an award-winning creative marketing collective, and Founder of The Playbook, an evidence-based coaching development framework designed to support both rec and elite sports.
​
I'm also a mom to three spunky kids, two dogs, a foster puppy, and, much to my husband's dismay, a stray Holland Lop - (who remains far too ungrateful for his rescue). I'm always frantically looking for someone's lost sock or blankie - and for some reason, we're always short on spoons.
