SARAH ANN HARRIS, Managing Director
When Sarah Ann Harris decided to pursue a career in public relations, she had no idea it would feed the things that energize her most—connecting with others, thinking big and taking action.
That essential combination continues to motivate Sarah Ann after more than 20 years in the marketing communications field and is the exact reason she joined the Approach team.
A quick-thinker and natural leader, Sarah Ann serves as managing director for the agency. She oversees business operations and is continually energized in her role as she removes roadblocks and delivers creative solutions to make Approach the best in the biz.

THE MAGIC OF WANDERING
I have become a big believer in taking a walk—it can be around the block or clocking in at a few miles. No phone, no music, no distractions. Whether by myself or with my family or a friend, taking time to be outside and giving your brain a break always leads to a fresh perspective.
