TEAM TESTIMONIALS

"SK is the go-to, the guru, the greatest when it comes to being calm, cool, collected, AND super communicative. She's also as wise as she is funny, which means she's pretty much the perfect Cruise Director whether the skies are clear or the seas are stormy."

—Casey D., Senior Copywriter

"Having Sarah as a boss has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. Her sharp editing skills and supremely organized brain are only surpassed by her amazing advocacy as a manager and support as a mentor. I wish I could take her with me to every job I have."
