kind words
I've had the privilege of working alongside some incredibly talented people — as a colleague, a manager, and a consultant. Below is a small collection of what they've shared about our time together. Their words mean more to me than any metric.
Strategy & Execution
"Sarah is one of the brightest minds I know — easily a top 40 under 40 in digital marketing strategy in Pittsburgh. She was integral in building the team and culture that scaled our digital practice. Clients demanded her time because she seamlessly combines strategy-level leadership with a clear vision for execution. She is the 'expert's expert' — and clients would call to tell me how amazing she is."
— Chris Herring, SVP Head of Digital Experience Platform, Citizens
Leadership & EQ
"Sarah is one of the best supervisors I've ever worked for. She leads with an incredibly high EQ, asks the right questions at the right moments, and creates space for her team to do their best work. Her ability to balance empathy with clarity and accountability is rare and impactful. Working under Sarah's leadership made me a better marketer and a more confident professional."
— Sarah Brunke, Marketing Leader, Product and Brand
Mentorship & Coaching
"Sarah is the mentor, colleague, and partner-in-crime I'd been dreaming about for my whole career. She sharpened my hard skills in marketing strategy, analysis, and reporting — and my soft skills, including the self-confidence and self-care needed to prevent burnout. With Sarah's support, I believe I can take on any challenge that comes my way."
— Meredith Felton, Product Marketer, Coach & Launch Architect
Client POV
"Sarah is a uniquely talented marketer who effortlessly picks up new skills and talents. Over three years as her client, she consistently found new ways to improve our campaigns' performance, quality, and ingenuity. She never misses a deadline and can translate a complex working discussion into a tangible execution plan — all while being one of the most personable people you'll ever work with."
— Allison Hodsdon, AI Content Strategy, Google Workspace
Client POV
"Sarah brings both talent and a genuine energy to everything she does — professionally and personally. I challenged her to push beyond her core skill set in a project-based setting, and she rose to it every time. She found solutions by drawing on a combination of her own expertise and her network, and I was able to delegate large portions of complex work to her knowing she'd nail it routinely. It was an ideal working partnership."
— Brian Dolan, Software & Services, Waste & Recycling Industry
