Welcome to Gold Thread Marketing & Events LLC

Introductions

Laurie Gulluscio here,  

I’m a seasoned, fun, and yes—slightly spicy—marketing professional with more than 25 years of corporate, sales, and community experience in Lynchburg and Central Virginia. I’ve been trained by some incredible companies, and now I pour that knowledge back into the community I care deeply about.

After years as a Director of Sales & Marketing, I realized it was time to use my expertise without the constraints of a traditional job title. Gold Thread Marketing & Events was born from that desire: to help businesses and nonprofits not just survive, but shine.

I love building marketing plans, mapping out your quarters, and creating fresh ideas that make you feel excited about your business again. Remember that spark you had when you first started? I help you get that feeling back.

Running a business can be lonely. Sometimes you need strategy, and sometimes you just need a cheerleader. That’s me.

I’m not 22 and guessing my way through marketing. I’m a seasoned professional who stays current with technology, tools, and trends. I make marketing feel clear, doable, and even fun.

 I blend real-world experience with creativity, modern tools, and a supportive presence that makes the work feel lighter.

Here’s what I bring to your business:

• 25+ years of corporate, sales, and marketing leadership
• Quarterly marketing plans that actually move the needle
• Creative ideas that keep your audience engaged
• Tools, technology, and systems that make your life easier
• Encouragement, accountability, and a supportive voice
• A partner who understands the realities of running a business solo
• Professional. Warm. Creative. A little spicy. 

And fully invested in you.
