I’m Sarah Khan-Varda, a senior creative/copywriter with over 14 years of experience in the ad world.
My advertising career began in ‘above the line’, where I gained shooting experience in over 10 countries in my first role, creating campaigns for global and UK markets.
Moving with the times, I then worked on social and digital campaigns as a freelancer.
In 2015, I took a permanent role at Ogilvy London. During my eight-plus years there, I wore many hats, handling big brand platforms as well as social content, both big and small. I worked on global advertising campaigns, long-form editorial content, and even named a few FMCG products.
I led tone of voice and copy for various brands, including Philadelphia, Relate, Nestlé SMA, Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day and TK Maxx/Homesense.
In simpler times, I waited tables for the likes of Chris Martin and Simon Pegg, cleaned up after dentists at the British Orthodontic society and became a billionaire from Bahrain’s bitch (AKA her live-in personal assistant).
Outside of the industry, I’m interested in gaming, beating you in a planking contest, and, for some reason, I’m a certified basketball officiator.
If you need a conceptual creative who can create or emulate any tone of voice, I’m happy to chat about solo or collaborative opportunities.
