It starts with a story worth finding. What people do with it next tells me where the strategy goes.

“Some writers execute the brief. Sarah improves it.”
Chris LynchCreative Director, Entrepreneurs’ Organization
Read more

Hand her a project and she’ll usually find what it’s missing before anyone else says it out loud. She knows what our members need and what leadership is trying to build, and she writes to both. When the work really matters, she’s my first call.

“On two agentic AI launches, Sarah turned dense technical material into messaging customers could act on.”
Jeff LoiblVP, Global Head of Brand & Creative, Blue Yonder
Read more

She got up to speed on AI supply chain technology quickly and worked across Product Marketing, our AI specialists, creative and our executive team. She understood what the work needed to do, and I could trust her to carry it through.

“Sarah gave American Pickers and Antique Archaeology their digital voice.”
Lauren GrishamFormer Manager, Antique Archaeology
Read more

She partnered closely with our creative director to build the brand, then did the harder part: making the writing sound so much like Mike that most readers never clocked the difference. Sarah took an audience we already had and gave it a reason to stay, and that kind of brand-voice command at scale is rarer than people think.

“She kept three teams building one experience.”
Brooke SkeltonDigital Experience Manager, Entrepreneurs’ Organization
Read more

Our wireframes and our emails finally sounded like one team, and that was Sarah. She has a real feel for how people read and move through content, and she kept everyone pointed the same way when it would have been easy to drift apart.

“From the brand to the trade show floor, Sarah built the marketing behind FundingFactory.”
Erika BerlinProgram Manager, Clover Technologies Group
Read more

FundingFactory reached tens of thousands of schools and nonprofits, and Sarah created what they saw when deciding whether to join: the branding, the campaigns, the trade show presence and the case studies. She treated a recycling program like a brand worth choosing.

I read the room for a living.

Most people meet a brand long before they reach its website. Maybe it’s an AI summary, or a trade article someone forwarded. By the time sales gets involved, they’ve usually decided whether it’s worth another minute.

So that’s where I start. I want to know the product well enough to explain it to a skeptic, and the customer well enough to know what they’re actually worried about. Then I find the one idea the brand can stand behind and study what people do with it.

The harder something is to explain, the more I want in.
