WELCOME!

I'm Sarah Davis.

I'm a strategic marketer, copywriter, and editor 
based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

About me

You've probably met a Sarah Davis before. But you've never met a Sarah Davis like me.

 

With my common name, I stand out with my strong work ethic, keen eye for detail, and passion for maintaining a positive workplace environment.

>>> Looking for examples of my work? Here's my portfolio!

I'm a strategic marketer, copywriter, and editor with 10+ years of experience in various content-related roles. 

I bring 8+ years of experience writing content for B2B buyers, with 3+ years of technology-focused writing.

 

I earned my B.A. in English with a concentration in Editing, Writing & Media from Florida State University, in addition to a B.A. in Media Communication Studies and a minor in Psychology. Since then, I've earned a Google certification in Fundamentals of Digital Marketing and a HubSpot certification in Content Marketing.

While at FSU, my writing centered around my love for music. To this day, music is one of my biggest joys in life, in addition to practicing yoga, being outside in North Carolina's nature, and spending time with my family, friends, and cat, Charlie. I still love reading and writing—my journal and a book are always within arm's reach at home.
