What's your name and where do you come from? I’m Sarah. I grew up in Kent and had quite a culturally diverse upbringing. My dad is from Guyana, South America and my mum was born in Durban, South Africa, so it’s a bit of a mix.

It works for us. What led you to Whitewater? I worked agency side for 4 years, mainly on commercial accounts ranging from printers through to financial services and the oil sector. I thought there must be more to the marketing world than flogging home insurance! I came to Whitewater because I wanted to work on interesting projects that really make a difference. So far it’s great. I have to admit the Friday night drinks is a great bonus too. I’m a sucker for Kettles crisps and red wine.

You're easy to please. And what are you working on? My first project was legacy strategy for the NSPCC. Now I'm working on WaterAid - a great new win!

Any special talents we should know about for our staff parties? I can stand on my head.

We'll keep that in mind. So, what did you want to be when you were a kid? I wanted to be a writer after being hooked on the Roald Dahl books as a kid. After doing work experience at a newspaper I applied to study journalism at uni and then bottled out and did German with International Politics instead. Hopefully one day I’ll publish a book, but I guess that’s what everyone says.

Good luck with that! Anything else we, or our clients, should know? I have a fear of crossing busy roads after nearly being run over by a lorry. Whenever I go to client meetings I always factor in an extra 10 minutes to allow enough time for waiting patiently for the green man instead of stepping out in a hurry.
