CLIENT FEEDBACK
Eilidh MacAskill, formerly Vice President, Creative, Asda
"Sarah Wharton always over delivers and is dynamically creative. She is able to execute a project to the highest level and has never let me down. She is tirelessly curious about life and that feeds into all her work."

Sara Cremer, formerly CEO, Redwood London (AMV/BBDO Network)
"You were fantastic in that pitch. And thanks for all the ideas the other day. Honestly, nothing as interesting or exciting as that came out of having 18 of the industry's "best brains" in the room for a whole day."

Louise Perry, Financial Services Marketing Lead EMEA at Publicis.Sapient
"Sarah's capacity for helping brands understand and manifest their relevancy is infinite. Her consumer experience is wide-reaching and deep, her ideation and editorial skills pin-sharp. What's more, she consistently delivers cut-through and results."
Jonathan Lovatt Young, Experience Strategist
"I'd best describe Sarah as a parabrain processor: mulling over lots of different ideas and coming up with something quite original. These ideas were challenging - but you know you've got the best concepts when it starts to feel dangerous. Working with her felt like she was the sum of a creative team that wasn't afraid to share bold ideas. She also has a natural talent for producing words with pace and architecting memorable content."
