Content Marketing for Brands
I help companies market their products and services through true narratives told on owned media channels.
After seven years working full-time in journalism, I expanded into content marketing, applying those same research, reporting, and writing skills to create factually accurate stories for brands. Today I partner with clients on hands-on content work, from blog planning to social media creation and publishing.
My approach to content marketing is anchored in a belief that true stories about businesses, told well, are compelling enough without the superlatives often used to sell stuff. Let’s say your company is selling made-to-order mugs for tea. Let’s talk about the clay. Let’s talk about the kiln. Let’s talk about the glaze. Let’s talk about the many kinds of tea! Let’s also talk about how you, the owner, still hold down a day job and dedicate your weekends to the studio.

Social Media Marketing
I help clients create educational content for organic social media, using the same research techniques and commitment to accuracy I use in my editorial and brand journalism work.

Brand Editorial and Custom Publications
Brand journalism or brand editorial means content produced using journalism skills—like interviewing and fact-checking—but the end client is a company, not a media outlet.

Bill Schwegler, President, Cultivar Foundation
"We engaged with Sara at the start of our environmental habitat restoration non-profit company. Sara established a solid foundation for our brand identity and future social media and email marketing campaigns. Sara designed our logo and the logo for a coalition group with which we are partnered. She set up our email marketing and social media platforms, doing it all and making it look effortless.
Direct engagement with the public at environmental events like Earth Day is critical to our success. With great effect, Sara has also created a series of banners, flyers, and stickers to support activities for kids, our special guests, and speakers at our booth that we use for community outreach and education about our various habitat restoration projects.
And always, Sara is a pleasure to work with. Sara brings experience, great clarity, and thoughtful insights to all the projects she has completed for us. Sara delivers."

While the partnership was short-term, Sara’s work moved us in the right direction and helped establish a path forward. I would recommend Sara to any organization looking to enhance its social media strategy and engagement efforts."
