Laurie Mclachlan

Chief Marketing Officer
laurie mclachlan

Laurie loves music. And coffee. With her background marketing financial service products, joining PerkStreet was a no brainer. Laurie has spent most of the last 15 years helping consumers find the products that are right for them. At BrownCo (a division of JP Morgan that was later sold to E*Trade), it was introducing the revolutionary concept of an online, discount brokerage in the early days of the Internet. For First Marblehead, it was marketing private student loans that allowed families to fund the gap between the rising cost of education and their savings.

Laurie found her way into the marketing world working for the advertising agency Wunderman. Since that time she’s had the opportunity to work with some of the most cutting edge players, including Hill Holiday, Arnold Worldwide and the Boston Group. She’s done cool things like relaunch the Mustang with Ford and less cool things like marketing dog food. Marketing for PerkStreet is more than a job for Laurie, it's the opportunity to create the best possible checking account for people who want rewards for spending responsibly on debit. As a long-time debit card user with a penchant for vanilla lattes and a self-professed music addiction, it’s easy for her to get into the product.
