Rautenkranz
comes to Point Taken Communications from television news, where she spent
15 years as an on-air meteorologist. Her career spans markets from Wilmington,
N.C., to Jacksonville, Fla. A proud Florida native, she grew up in the
West Palm Beach area and has deep ties across the state. She earned her
bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, where her passion for
communication began, and later pursued a master’s degree in meteorology
at Mississippi State University.
“Lauren’s
background in journalism aligns well with the Point Taken team — many of
whom are former reporters,” said Michelle
Guglielmo Gilliam, president of Point Taken Communications. “Lauren
will leverage her deep knowledge of what’s newsworthy in 2025 and her social
media expertise to help our clients with their PR and marketing strategies.”
Rautenkranz
joined the Point Taken Communications team earlier this year. In addition
to developing innovative campaign ideas, she manages social media, media
relations, and influencer relations, as well as influencer vetting. She
will also work on AI strategies for public relations.
Point
Taken represents hotels and resorts of every size — from boutique, locally
owned properties to large destinations. The firm has a proven track record
of helping clients earn prestigious awards, secure media coverage in both
consumer and trade publications, and develop thought leadership opportunities.

partnerships to drive sales, forges strategic collaborations with businesses
