SARAH TRAINOR, FOUNDER

Sarah is a brand marketer with over a decade of experience across strategic brand and creative roles. Writing, photography, and design are personal passions (and how she stumbled into marketing). After working in real estate, finance, and the world of tech startups, with three acquisitions under her belt, Sarah went on to freelance and consult for several years. She found she was able to contribute meaningful value with her top-down focus on business priorities, no matter the category or size of her clients. After working with DoorDash almost exclusively for over a year on their strategic markets and DashPass initiatives, she’s excited to get back to what she loves: building big ideas with founders.

A few brands she’s worked with:

DoorDash / Proxii / Phyla / Core / Room / Side / AFN / Keller Williams / Intero Real Estate / SolidStarts / APL / USA Triathlon / BHLDN / Bastille / Pitchfork / Conde Naste / Rolling Stone / Infatuation / Chase / Opinel / Underclub / NASCAR / Rhone / Compass / Carnivore Club / Night+Market / Jon & Vinny’s / Souvla / WeightWatchers / Bose / Campari / Lioness / Anti Social Social Club / Chipotle / IQ Bar / Medlie / Patchology / Sunday Scaries / Lululemon / Zenstop/ Hattie B’s / Square Pie Guys / NBA / WNBA / MLS / Taco Bell / Starbucks / Infatuation / Chase / and more.
