Be (exactly) who you are.

S o often, the way we talk about brand marketing fails to capture our human experience—as if people weren’t at the heart of every small business, organization or startup.
 
To me, brand is something we inhabit. It’s who we are, on and offline. It’s how others know us and trust us—the reason it’s so important to get this right. 

I care deeply about the clients I take on—you won’t find half-measures here. If we’re in it, we’re in it together, and (I think) that’s a pretty beautiful thing. 

For end-to-end projects, I team up with trusted collaborators: smart and skilled art directors, graphic designers, web developers, photographers, and more. We’ll help you take your specialty project from concept to reality.

Sarah Pollard Projects

Projects I believe in.

In my career, I’ve worked with clients across sectors: travel & lifestyle, food & beverage, architecture & design, technology, environment, and education. Projects have taken me from Port Renfrew to San Francisco, and New York to Texas.

I’ve helped launch intrepid brands, like Rumble Supershake, Flashhouse, and The Narwhal, and deepened the story for The Bateman Foundation, Inspired Results Group, and Live It Earth. 

I’ve briefed the Prime Minister’s Office and senior policymakers from the Privy Council Office, helped the Strategic Office of Library and Archives Canada set a national agenda, and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat articulate its information management vision. 

And I’ve lived in words for as long as I can remember: from literary publishing and journalism to corporate communications. Every day, I’m fortunate to collaborate with partners and peers on projects I believe in.
