Q:
Can you share what has been driving you to work passionately on your recent projects?
A:
Knowing that our clients trust us with their brand, their ideas, and to help them fulfill their objectives and overall mission is one of the biggest compliments. It excites me to know they see us as more than a production vendor and look to us to help shape how their message is received. That level of trust drives me to show up with excellence, curiosity, and care every single day.
Q:
What are some of your personal and business goals this year?
A:
Professionally, I want to deepen my expertise in content management and continue strengthening the bridge between strategy, creative, and production. My goal is to help refine processes that make it easier for teams to collaborate seamlessly on-site and pre-event. Personally, I’m focusing on balance. I want to continue to make time for travel, creativity, and moments that refuel me so I can keep giving my best self at work and in life.

Q:
Are there any projects or events you are most looking forward to this year?
A:
I’m really looking forward to future projects that allow us to explore those “what about this?” ideas. The ones that push creativity and strategy to meet in new ways. The most meaningful moments for me are when a client is open to trying something different, and we get to see an idea evolve from a spark note into a fully realized experience. Those opportunities remind me that our work isn’t just about delivering an event – it’s about active listening, innovation, and creating lasting impact.
Q:
What motivates and drives you in your day-to-day work?
A:
Collaboration and impact. I’m energized by the challenge of taking complex client goals and translating them into experiences that resonate. Seeing a client’s excitement when their message lands, or hearing that something we produced inspired a client to act—makes all the planning hours worth it.
Q:
How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance, and do you have any tips for your peers?
A:
I was a competitive dancer growing up so I’ve learned to treat balance as a rhythm, not a static state. Some days require deep focus; others call for rest and creativity. I schedule time for both, and I set boundaries to reset. My biggest tip: don’t wait until you’re burnt out to recharge; build moments of self-care into your everyday routine.
Q:
What advice would you give to new employees joining Centrifuge Media to thrive in their roles?
A:
Success is a team sport. Every project here is the result of a lot of hard work done by our great team, and the magic happens when you are chasing after the same goal with like-minded individuals. Remember to ask questions early and don’t hesitate to try something new, even if it’s outside of your comfort zone or day-to-day job description – it may surprise you that you are great at something you didn’t even see coming.
Nominations
What Centrifuge Media colleagues have to say about Brienna Lacey’s accomplishments over quarter 03!
“She is an excellent communicator, always willing to jump in and take on new challenges, and keeps the team informed during every stage of a project. Brie is eager to learn and grow, and even though she hasn’t been with us long, she’s already made a lasting impact! I truly enjoy working with her and appreciate the positivity and dedication she brings to our team.”
“I picked Brienna because of her ‘can-do’ attitude and willingness to jump in and tackle any task. From working with her on-site and seeing her take charge with client content management to setting up and running graphics with little to no request for help to troubleshooting signal issues until she figures it out, Brie excels in all of these areas…not to mention just a joy to be around and always putting a smile on anyone’s face she interacts with.”
“Brienna has excelled with client-facing work this quarter, specifically a project with a very demanding client. She has also been taking her content management and graphics onsite very diligently with ease and great attention to detail.”
Selection Process
The selection process for the Employee of the Quarter is driven by nominations from fellow team members. Every quarter, employees are invited to nominate their peers who have gone above and beyond in their roles, demonstrated outstanding teamwork, or made a significant impact on the organization.
Our commitment to recognizing excellence makes this process invaluable in acknowledging those who consistently make a difference.
