Laurel Lofton, WZVN / WBBH / ME-TV / NBC NEWSNOW. Born and raised in LaBelle, FL, I am a SWFL Native! With 20 years in the Television Marketing Industry I have worked with both Local and National businesses. After graduating from University of South Florida, I began working in Tampa, then moving to Miami and to Atlanta with the FOX Owned & Operated Station Group. I came back home to work here locally, creating a new home with Waterman Broadcasting in 2013! While my title may say “Account Executive,” I find that I am more of a Marketing Consult, showing local businesses which marketing opportunities work best for each individual business, specializing in TV and Digital Marketing. That works for one, is not necessarily the best for the other! If you are all doing the same, how do YOU stand out?

His candor and can-do attitude breed faith and trust with clients and associates. To say he thinks ‘out of the box’ is a cliché but is nonetheless true.
