Laura Ackermann

CEO of Advantage PR

With over two decades in the public relations arena, Laura Ackermann, Owner and Founder of Advantage PR, has developed a proven track record in the industry.

Ackermann has represented numerous personal entertainment clients over the years, raising their profiles to the next level. She has been fortunate to work with established talent such as Sara Rue, Charisma Carpenter, Curtis Armstrong, Constance Zimmer, Jeff Garlin, Kate Walsh and Jeannie Mai, to name a few. Throughout her years of experience in the entertainment industry, Laura saw a gap in the market and cultivated a specialty in elevating and transforming the careers of the next generation of breakout talent.

Ackermann and her team were integral to the launch of the careers of Sarah Hyland, Olivia Holt, Yara Shahidi, Joey King, Shay Mitchel and Bella Thorne, who were all a part of the Breakout Talent Division at Advantage. Currently, Advantage PR works with some of the hottest stars in the business including Lonnie Chavis, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Tyler Oakley, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Owen Teague, Madison Davenport, Madison Thompson and Willow Shields, to name a few.

Not content to remain idle, Laura again saw a need that wasn’t being met in the industry, which led her to launch a Digital Division at Advantage PR. Through this division, Ackermann played an integral role in breaking through digital creators such as Gigi Gorgeous, Tyler Oakley, Eva Gutowksi, Niki and Gabi DeMartino, Hannah Meloche and more, to the mainstream media and crossing them over from YouTube sensations to household names. Laura was recently named by Business Insider as one of the top PR pros for YouTube creators, Instagram influencers, and other digital stars.

Ackermann’s additional passions are regularly shown through the client roster she maintains and builds. From authors to experts, to musicians to media companies, to brands and corporations and non-profits, Laura has implemented strategic publicity campaigns that deliver long lasting results and outcomes. She has worked with the likes of Antonia Lofaso, Mayte Garcia, Columbia Records, Sabrina Carpenter, Jordan Fisher, MGA Entertainment, Beautycon Media, ipsy, Stylehaul, GirlUp and Thirst Project, to name a few.
