I cut my PR teeth in the video conferencing space 20 years ago and since then have been passionate about raising the awareness of my clients and their technology, working on the agency side and as a freelancer since August 2007.

What sets me apart is my dogged determination and terrier-like ability to identify and secure coverage for my clients. Over the years I have successfully obtained the right coverage for my clients, in the right media outlets, at the right time.

What my clients say

“I have worked with Sarah on PR projects for many years and her diligence, persistence and tireless enthusiasm ensured that the Company was featured in the top tier publications on many occasions.”

Tim Duffy - co-founder, MeetingZone

"Sarah helped Codegate to achieve significant coverage in both on-line and printed media which has resulted in direct sales, in one case £1.2m of new business from just one press release. Her ability to translate a client's techno-speak into journalistic prose is one of her most important PR skills. Another is her determination to ensure that deadlines are met."

Terran Churcher - Chairman, Codegate

"I worked with Sarah over a number of years where she helped us in driving UK PR for our Unified Communications Solutions. Sarah always proved dynamic in her approach and had a relentless energy which she applied to very beneficial effects. Sarah drove the organisation hard to achieve results in a timely fashion and consequently set a standard that others needed to work well to achieve. Always a person that I would like to have on my side rather than the competitions'!!"
