Bio
Sarah Noel Ross is an award-winning creative with 10 years of agency and in-house experience. She's championed brands big and small across their biggest to smallest moments, from launching one company's first national brand campaign to helping another ring the bell on the New York Stock Exchange. With a career spanning sports, tech, auto, real estate, CPG, and health, Sarah believes that ads shouldn't feel like ads and approaches creative by putting the customer first.
She's brought emotion, culture, and art to integrated campaigns for brands like Adidas, Reebok, ESPN, Audi, Zillow, and Westin, and her work has been recognized by the Clios, One Show, Art Director's Club, Communication Arts, and AdAge, amongst others.
When she's not making ads or using 13 commas in 1 sentence, you can find her trying to not freeze while floating around in the ocean on a piece of foam, or eating satay pho to also not freeze after getting out of the ocean and off of said piece of foam.
