I’m Sarah Patterson, and I’m passionate about the art and craft of advertising. With a career spanning both the UK (where I’m from) and the US, I’ve held management roles at various agencies, mentoring and guiding large teams of producers to deliver impactful and memorable work. My experience also extends to the production company side, where I’ve developed a deep empathy for the realities of production—enhanced by being married to a director. This unique perspective allows me to bridge the gap between creative vision and practical execution with understanding and respect.

I am committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to discovering new talent and innovative production techniques. My dedication to building and maintaining strong relationships with industry professionals around the world is at the core of my approach. I thrive on collaboration and problem-solving, especially when faced with demanding, multi-faceted projects.

 While my primary focus has been in broadcast production, I’m equally drawn to emerging technologies and the potential they hold for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve overseen a diverse range of projects across multiple platforms, including projection mapping, drone-based 360 filming, interactive media, live events, social media campaigns, print advertising, NFT’s and most recently an Activation for Amazon.

Back in 2014, I launched Tea with Sarah, an interview series where I sat down with iconic film, TV, and commercial directors to explore their creative journeys and celebrate their craftsmanship. The series received great recognition and remains a proud highlight of my career.

Currently, I’m working as a freelance Executive Producer at Amazon. Last year, I led two flagship launches for Samsung, collaborating with Ogilvy to deliver a wide array of assets and deliverables. These projects took me across the globe—from Prague to Barcelona and London—adding to my extensive international experience.

I am also developing a podcast series called Standing Out, Standing Strong, where I have candid conversations with inspiring women in the industry. The podcast aims to amplify voices and stories of resilience, passion, and creativity, fostering a community that celebrates strength and individuality.

I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals and discussing creative opportunities.

Sarah
