Hello there
We’re Cairn Media, a paid media partner for hospitality and food & beverage brands that value craft, clarity, and results. Born in the Pacific Northwest, we bring a deep appreciation for beauty, storytelling, and thoughtful execution.
Most agencies ask for long contracts before delivering clarity. We flip that model.
Our Paid Media Sprint is a one-time, high-impact engagement built to do one thing: get your paid strategy sharp, your creative performing, and your campaign live — fast. No retainers. No drawn-out timelines. Just clear direction and confident execution.
When you're ready to scale, our Ongoing Management offers strategic support, hands-on execution, and performance optimization, all as a seamless extension of your team. No templates. Just smart, brand-aligned creative that drives real results.
the vision
Hi, I’m Lauren, founder of Cairn Media. I started this agency after years of working with brands like MGM Resorts, Bellagio, and boutique properties in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve helped brands tell sharper stories and drive real results through paid media.
My background blends the creative discipline of CPG (like Dave’s Killer Bread and Alden’s Organic Ice Cream) with the fast pace and nuance of food and beverage marketing. I know how to build campaigns that feel intentional, not templated, and I’ve seen what happens when strong strategy gets buried under bloated agency layers or long-winded retainers.
Cairn is built to be the opposite: clear, agile, and quietly excellent. We help hospitality brands sharpen their media, book more of the right guests, and grow without losing what makes them special.
I’m based in Portland and believe in work that feels grounded, not flashy. You won’t find jargon here—just honest collaboration and results that hold up.
No fluff. Just stuff that works.
