THG Founder Receives Hudson Magazine’s 2022 Women in Business Award

We're excited to announce that Hudson Valley Magazine has selected The Hyacinth Group (THG) founder Lauren Rose-Marie Hyacinth Johnson as one of their 2022 Women in Business Award winners! 

Every year, the publication chooses 12 fierce local women to receive the honor. This year's winners are nothing short of inspiring, and we're proud to count our fearless leader among them. 

Lauren started her career 12 years ago as a digital specialist helping global brands like Victoria's Secret, Steve Madden, and Aerosoles generate millions of dollars in sales through calculated conversion strategies. 

While searching for her dream job, a career coach helped her realize that maybe the perfect role wasn't something she had to find but rather something she could create for herself. This advice led her to start her own digital marketing agency, The Hyacinth Group, so she could do for small businesses what she had done for big-name clients - help them make money. 

Since then, Lauren has had a hand in helping all types of clients flourish - especially woman-owned companies. In fact, over 73% of THG's clientele are women-led. 

In addition to her current role as founder and CEO of The Hyacinth Group, Lauren will start her most exciting job yet when she becomes a first-time mom next year. While she admits that balancing everything was a bit scary at first, she now welcomes the challenge and looks forward to life as a working mom. 

"I've had a difficult pregnancy and thought I was going to close my business, but winning this award has inspired me to keep going. Being recognized for my work and knowing that I am still doing good things as a pregnant woman makes me really excited for what's to come. I'm looking forward to the challenge of being a new mom and growing my business next year," she says.
