BIOGRAPHY

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. 

With leadership tenures at some of the biggest names in the industry, including Vice President at both Golin and Edelman, Sarah Ann has provided strategic insight for numerous global consumer brands such as Tiffany & Co., Hawaiian Tropic, Splenda, Playtex, Breyers and Huggies.  

Prior to joining Approach, she led client strategy and business development at Influence Central, one of the country's leading influencer marketing agencies. 

After 20 years servicing clients, Sarah Ann shifted to the operations side of the business.  She partners closely with founder, Megan Shroy, to make Approach a best-in-class agency that not only delivers the highest level of client strategy, but turns the PR agency model on its head providing the team with flexibility to live a big life and have a big job. 

Sarah Ann holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Journalism from Miami University.
