Laura Braam

Senior Vice President
lbraam@mpf.com

Laura Braam is a proud member of the small but mighty MP&F “boomerang” club, having worked for the firm from 1998-2007 and rising to vice president.

During those years, she helped lead the U.S. Department of Labor’s Job Corps team, launch digital television and internet services for Comcast, and open the “new” Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum downtown, among other projects.

Laura returns to the firm after holding senior communications roles in nonprofit, education, health care, government and retail organizations. From 2007-2017, Laura helped to create, launch and grow the brand of Currey Ingram Academy, a K-12 day and boarding school for students with learning differences. She left the school to join Sheridan PR as a principal and was recruited a year later to be Mayor David Briley’s chief communications officer.

Laura’s work since has included senior roles at HCA Healthcare and The Strategy Group, as well as Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee, an $80 million social enterprise spanning 48 counties. There she and her team proudly created the “Goodwill, It Just Feels Good” multichannel campaign and the best-in-class True Blue Rewards loyalty program.

Laura began her career in the early 1990s as a reporter in Dallas and then at a boutique public affairs firm in Washington, D.C. A Dallas native, she graduated cum laude from Washington & Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and minors in journalism, creative writing and psychology.

Laura’s community involvement has ranged from serving on the Hands On Nashville board to supporting her two kids’ schools, to serving as an elder and volunteer for Second Presbyterian Church, where she married her husband, David, in 2001.
