ABOUT SARAH FEENEY
I've worked with some of the world's most innovative brands, creatives, mavericks and entrepreneurs.
If you're one of these, read on...

If you’re creating a brand, looking to break a new market or increase your fanbase...that’s what I do.
I enable start-ups to take charge, assist well-established brands reconnecting with themselves, and guide growth and innovation.
But what I do best is create and grow a loyal and sincere following for brands I’m passionate about.
My approach is to connect to audiences on a more emotional and creative level through culture, stories, and ideas.
I formalise this strategy in brand books, playbooks, and blueprints and create tools to amplify that relevance to a broader audience.
This helps brands scale with intent and purpose and win new fans —the best advocates a brand can have.
It’s a strategy that’s worked for some of the world's most iconic and influential brands.
More about those, later.
Creating fans in new markets is a specialism with a particular focus on the USA.
As a recognised innovator in nomadic living (yes, I spent ten years living out of a suitcase with only two pairs of socks), I have access to forty global audiences, an enviable professional footprint, network, and capsule wardrobe.
I work across diverse sectors, including health and wellness and the alcohol beverage industry, and am available as a long-and short-term freelance consultant.
Let's talk!
