Lauren Schmid-Brough
Founder & Lead Strategist | Lauren Schmid Marketing + Design
I am a fifth-generation agriculturalist with deep roots in production agriculture, originally from Wren, Ohio, where I grew up raising Chianina-Chiangus cattle on a small hay and grain operation. Today, I live two hours north on our 150-year-old grain operation, where I manage operations alongside my husband, our daughter, three dogs, a mess of show pigs, and a herd of commercial cows.
my everyday experience on our homestead has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities small farm and ranch operations face in today’s fast-evolving market.
My journey into the world of marketing began a decade ago, providing freelance services across various industries. It was after earning my bsba in marketing from Bowling Green State University that I fully transitioned into a full-time business. In 2025, I’m proud to celebrate seven years providing acute marketing strategies for businesses across the industry.
With a specialized focus on small business marketing, sales and advertising, I’ve cultivated a passion for partnering with farm, ranch, and ag-related businesses to help them stay ahead of modern marketing trends. My unparalleled expertise in the livestock sector, combined with my practical agricultural knowledge, allows me to offer strategic insights that are both relevant and impactful for the ever changing operations of today.
At Lauren Schmid Marketing + Design, I offer a comprehensive range of services, including website design, graphic design, photography, and videography, all tailored to meet the unique needs of the agricultural industry. I am committed to helping businesses of all sizes build strong, authentic marketing strategies that drive results and ultimately convert clicks into relationships.

We absolutely LOVE the logo and brand she designed for our Missouri farm. Lauren was so easy to work with and has great communication skills. Definitely recommend her for your marketing/design needs!

Lauren was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She took all of my ideas into consideration and created a logo that not only perfectly captures our boutique's "vibe", but is also eye catching, classy, and timeless - and she did it all during harvest season, which us farm moms know is a CRAZY time of year in so many ways! We will definitely be using Lauren for any design needs going forward <3

I couldn’t be more happy with Lauren. It’s really not even a competition to the other people that just ghost you. Lauren listened to everything I wanted plus more and just ran away with it. Quality service, great communication. I have a feeling I’ll be back for more sooner rather than later. Don’t think twice, the option is clear!

We cannot say enough good things about Lauren and her work! We were long over due for a fresh, new logo; not sure what exactly we wanted so we gave Lauren free reigns with her creative abilities. She did such an amazing job, and made the process so easy, and a lot of fun! I was constantly checking my emails because I was so excited! Lol. My husband and I will most definitely be returning to Lauren for anything in the future! Plus it was a total added bonus to work with someone local to our farm!

Very pleased with the professional, quality services provided, Had a couple people try designing me a logo (I’m very picky) and Lauren just blew it out of the park without me having to explain a lot, it’s like she can read my mind, highly recommend !!!

Wow, wow, wow is all I can say! I contacted Lauren last minute to have a flyer made, not only did she get it done quick she absolutely KILLED the flyer! I told her to make it her own she’s the designer and I trust her judgement. No mistake there she’s got the creative eye everyone’s looking for! If you’re looking for ANY design or marketing material to be done look in here! MVP of it all! One last shout out to my designer Lauren Schmid Marketing + Design for helping me get this journey rolling! Lauren and her team are outstanding. I came to her almost clueless (I think anyways) with a few ideas and she more then exceeded my expectations! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

When I came to Lauren about three weeks ago we were in need of a fresh logo. It wasn’t that old since we are a newer breeder but just needed a makeover. Lauren took on our ideas and ran with them. I’m sure I was a little difficult at times but she made this process so easy. She is very competent in her design skills and a great communicator in keeping you in the loop on where your design is at. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a new brand for their farm or business.
