Lauren LaPointe shows how passion, discipline, and strategy converge to build brands that create long-term impact and legacy.
From the Dance Floor to the Global Stage: How One Woman’s Journey Rewrites the Playbook on Branding
Imagine standing on the precipice of greatness, poised under the spotlight, with the weight of an entire performance resting on your shoulders. This was Lauren LaPointe’s reality time and time again during her career as a two-time world champion ballroom dancer. But the lessons she learned on the dance floor weren’t just about technical perfection. They were about discipline, strategy, and executing flawlessly under pressure. These lessons, ingrained deeply in her, would become the foundation for her success in business, particularly in building powerful, purpose-driven brands at Brandbeat Global.
Today, Lauren’s story is not just about her transformation from dancer to entrepreneur, it’s about how she combines artistry with precision, passion with strategy, to build brands that leave a lasting impact. In her role as Managing Partner and COO of Brandbeat Global, Lauren is redefining how businesses can connect with their audiences through branding that goes beyond aesthetics and trends. It’s about creating something that resonates on a deeper level, something that lasts.
Lauren’s journey has been one of perseverance, reinvention, and transformation. As a former world champion ballroom dancer, she developed a champion’s mindset, one that prepared her to take on challenges, face adversity, and, most importantly, perform at the highest level, even when the stakes were high. These skills have transferred seamlessly into her role as a brand architect.
The Power of Purpose-Driven Branding
At the core of Lauren LaPointe’s philosophy is purpose-driven branding. At Brandbeat Global, she doesn’t just help companies look good; she helps them tell compelling stories that resonate with their audiences, create emotional connections, and build lasting relationships. “Authenticity will always outshine perfection,” Lauren says. While many branding experts focus on the superficial aspects of design, Lauren’s focus is on the deeper meaning behind a brand.
She believes that brands should represent something much more than just a product, they should represent a story, an ethos, and a set of values that connect with people. Whether working with startups or multinational corporations, Lauren works to ensure that every brand she touches creates a meaningful connection. She uses her unique perspective to craft brands that are unforgettable, that resonate on an emotional level, and that create lasting loyalty among their audience.
Her approach goes far beyond simply creating a beautiful visual identity or crafting a catchy slogan. Instead, she aims to craft brands with purpose and substance, brands that can weather the tests of time, overcome challenges, and evolve with changing markets. “Building a brand isn’t about chasing trends,” she says. “It’s about creating something timeless, something that will speak to the heart of your audience for years to come.”
What makes Lauren’s approach truly unique is her ability to combine the artistry of branding with the precision of business strategy. From creating investor-ready pitch decks to executing multinational social media campaigns, Lauren ensures that every aspect of the brand reflects a company’s core values while also speaking directly to its target audience.
Elegance Meets Strategy: The Dance of Leadership
Lauren’s ability to lead with grace and discipline is another cornerstone of her success. Her time on the ballroom floor shaped not only her technical abilities but also her approach to leadership. A ballroom dancer must lead with poise and precision, guiding their partner through complex movements and intricate routines. The same qualities are evident in her leadership style today.
For Lauren, leadership isn’t just about making decisions, it’s about inspiring others to perform at their best. Much like a ballroom dancer guiding their partner, Lauren leads by example. She combines strategic thinking with empathy, ensuring that everyone on her team is empowered to perform at their highest level.
Her leadership philosophy has been a defining factor in Brandbeat Global’s success. As a leader, she doesn’t just direct but motivates, encourages, and challenges her team to think outside the box and push the boundaries of traditional branding. Her team’s success is a reflection of her leadership, and Lauren takes immense pride in seeing her colleagues thrive both personally and professionally.
Turning Passion into Impact: The Role of Mentorship
At the heart of Lauren’s business philosophy is her dedication to mentorship. As an advocate for women, founders, and creatives looking to break through barriers, she has created a space for those who aspire to succeed in business to tap into her wealth of knowledge and experience.
Through LaurenLaPointe.com, she offers a platform for others to learn from her journey. She shares not only her business expertise but also personal stories of triumph, failure, and growth. She teaches that success is not just about being the best, it’s about being authentic, resilient, and constantly evolving.
Lauren’s mentorship has proven especially impactful for women and entrepreneurs who often face additional hurdles in male-dominated industries. She helps them navigate the complexities of business, especially in a world where emotional intelligence is just as important as technical expertise. She guides them to understand that the most successful brands are built on stories that are grounded in authenticity, integrity, and purpose.
For Lauren, mentorship is about more than just business advice, it’s about helping others unlock their full potential. “The most important part of leadership is elevating others,” she says. “When you help others succeed, it creates a ripple effect that can change the entire industry.”
The Legacy That Transcends Generations
As Lauren reflects on her career and the work she’s done at Brandbeat Global, she acknowledges that it’s not just about building brands for today, it’s about creating a legacy for tomorrow. Her approach to branding is rooted in long-term vision, and she encourages her clients to think beyond the immediate gain. She challenges them to ask themselves: What will your brand mean in 10, 20, or even 50 years?
Lauren’s legacy isn’t only about creating successful brands for clients, it’s about creating brands that make a difference in the world. Whether it’s a startup looking to disrupt an industry or an established corporation trying to evolve, Lauren’s approach is always rooted in the idea that brands should leave a lasting mark, one that will inspire and impact future generations.
She encourages her clients to go beyond the bottom line and think about what their brand will represent in the future. “The market moves fast, but the brands that endure are the ones that stay true to their values and their purpose,” she says.
