The marketer formerly known as Sarah Ainslie
So, who the heck is Sarah Miles? Well, I used to be Sarah Ainslie. After 15 years as Sarah Ainslie Marketing, I am reinvented as Smiles Marketing, inspired by my return to my maiden name of Sarah Miles (no, honestly, it’s fine). After all, who wouldn’t want to be a Smiles?!
New name, new focus
This return to my authentic self feels like an appropriate time to be more explicit about the way my business has evolved over recent years, and the kind of projects I love to work on, as I have chosen to focus primarily on my great passion for writing. Hence a new name, a new brand, a new website, and a new spotlight on copy and content.
Content Writing +
That doesn’t mean I no longer offer general marketing services. I do. After all, I’ve been working in marketing since 1997 and freelance since 2007, but the majority of the marketing services I offer have content and copy at their heart, such as developing and writing websites, creating and writing social media campaigns, planning, writing, and delivering email marketing campaigns etc. All done within the context of your overall marketing strategy. I like to think of it as Content Writing +.
