Our Experience at Your Service

An agency with a passion for prevention

Our team has 50+ years of combined experience in campaigns for substance use prevention, mental health, and more. In 2022, we decided to bring all that expertise under one roof. That’s when Let’s Mention Prevention (LMP) was founded.

We have a passion for this work. It means something to us. Prevention helps grow good kids, make families thrive, and save lives. We love being part of that equation.

Glenn Laudenslager, IV, MBA

Co-Founder

Glenn has more than 25 years of experience in marketing strategy, tactics, and leadership roles. He founded Charge Ahead Marketing in 2011 and co-founded Let’s Mention Prevention in 2022. The work of both agencies is guided by a passion for health care, prevention, and noble projects.

He leads teams that have strong experience in marketing strategy, technology and innovative thinking. For more than a decade, Charge Ahead’s work focuses purely on mental health and adjacent areas like substance use prevention, eating disorders, and serious mental illness. In fact, the sheer amount of work on campaigns in substance use prevention – and the passion for its positive impact on communities — is what led co-founders Glenn and Matt to start Let’s Mention Prevention.

Glenn has been part of campaigns in substance use prevention and mental health that won 20+ marketing awards over the last several years, including Aster Awards, Davey Awards, dotCOMM Awards, MarCom Awards, Muse Creative Awards, Vega Digital Awards, and Viddy Awards. He has been part of high-level initiatives in prevention and mental health at the local, state, and national levels. This includes clients like American Psychiatric Association, Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, Suicide Prevention Institute at the University of North Carolina, Lunder-Dineen Health Education Alliance of Maine, Maren Sanchez Home Foundation, Boston University School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, New York State Office of Mental Health, small nonprofits, and many local prevention councils.

Glenn has written articles for Chief Marketer, MeetingsNet, KevinMD, and other media. He has been a speaker at CADCA Annual Forum, PCMA, SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services, and more. He holds an MBA from Sacred Heart University, a B.S. in Marketing from Southern Connecticut State University, and graduated from the SCSU Honors College.
