About
Furbs Marketing
Senior marketing strategy & hands-on delivery for businesses that want both
The professional bit.
I'm Sarah, the person behind Furbs Marketing. I've spent 15 years in marketing, working my way from online creator to international marketing director before going freelance in January 2024.
Most of my career was spent at Rakuten Advertising, where I led marketing across Europe and APAC. I managed teams, six-figure budgets, agency partnerships and senior stakeholder relationships across multiple markets. Before that, I trained as a journalist, worked in-house at an online media group, then spent nearly 5 years agency-side, creating content and developing content strategies for clients across a wide range of industries, including leisure, automotive, finance, tech, and professional services. My journalism training taught me the reader always comes first, while my commercial experience keeps me laser-focused on achieving business goals.
In January 2024, I made the jump to self-employment and founded Furbs Marketing. I now work with businesses and organisations across the Highlands and the UK as an outsourced marketing partner, handling everything from strategy & content to campaigns and delivery. It was the biggest professional decision I've ever made, and I'm more than a bit proud of it.
The personal bit.
Today, I'm based on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, near Camusdarach beach. In my humble opinion (and many others, let's be honest) it's one of the most beautiful places going, and I feel lucky to be here every day.
When I'm not working, I'm helping out a local community trust, considering getting a dog, and generally attempting to develop my hiking skills so I can spend more time on my feet than I do falling over. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even get to the top of Ben Nevis. Whatever happens on that front, I'll be making the most of living somewhere that still takes my breath away.
Why work with me.
I get to know the businesses I work with properly. What they do, how they think, what they care about, what success looks like and what their audiences are looking for from them. I bring this to every client I work with, whether that's a Highland community trust, a B2B tech company, or a growing business that needs someone to take marketing off their plate and handle it well.
If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to chat.
