About Sara

Welcome to my site!  I have more than 20 years of experience in marketing, although my career has taken some fun twists and turns.  I definitely have an entrepreneurial spirit - I've co-founded both an online payment system and a women's retreat business.  I've worked fulltime for companies of all sizes from large financial corporations to small startups.  Most recently, though, I've been working as a marketing consultant helping small to mid size companies fill gaps in their marketing team.  

I started my career in the financial world, working for the large investment firm, TCW, ultimately managing a staff of 30 in the marketing department.  From there, I took a role as Director of Marketing for a private equity division of US Bank.  I moved into a business development role with a digital agency, SiteLab, helping Fortune 100 companies with web design and internet marketing, and furthering my knowledge of online marketing.  I then had the great opportunity to start a company with a friend, wearing many hats as we built an online financial services business, Spotya, from concept on a napkin to launch.  My next adventure was becoming a partner of a SaaS company, Shout About Us, which provides online review management services.  Since then, I've worked primarily as a consultant.  

A few of my key freelance roles include:

• Helping a healthcare tech company with sales and marketing strategy (sales scripts, presentations, email campaign strategy and marketing collateral)
• Providing marketing support to an investor relations company (website redesign, press releases, white papers, powerpoint presentations, investor call scripts)
• Assisting a tech consultant with marketing strategy (developing marketing calendar, email campaigns, social media, blogs, sales strategy and sales scripts)

I'm passionate about writing, so technical writing is one of my favorite things.  Whether it's website content, marketing collateral, press releases, blogs, articles, white papers, email campaigns or presentations, I love the challenge of coming up with messaging and communicating important key points about a product or service.  If you have writing projects, I'm your go to gal.

In addition to being an entrepreneur, I’m a busy wife and mother of two teenage boys.  I love living in the Sandpoint area, which is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise.  I love hiking the trails, boating on the lake during the summer, and visiting all of the great local restaurants, breweries and winery.

I'd love the opportunity to help your business grow and thrive!

To your success,

Sara
