Sara Ionete

Strategy-led.
Human-first.

I'm Sara, a Marketing Strategist based in London, working with companies and growing businesses across the UK, Europe and Southeast Asia.

I started out as an architect. I spent years learning how to research deeply, think systemically, and design with the end user at the absolute centre of every decision. Then I discovered that what I loved most about architecture wasn't the buildings; it was understanding people well enough to design something that genuinely worked for them.

That's what I bring to marketing. I don't start with content. I start with people: who they are, what they actually need, and what would make them stop scrolling and pay attention.

My work has spanned AI startups, founder communities, global architecture firms, and high-profile investment events. From knowing tech ecosystems inside out to working alongside global design firms, from a Davos side event with 800 world leaders to a B2B consultancy's first-ever capability statement. The brief changes, but the approach never does.

"Before I plan anything, I put myself in the shoes of the audience and walk around in them for a while. That's not just how I think. It's why the content lands."

01
Content & Social Strategy

You have a story worth telling. I build the strategy, content pillars, and editorial rhythm to tell it consistently, on LinkedIn, Instagram, or wherever your audience lives.

02
Copywriting & Brand Voice

From brand captions and campaign copy to tone of voice and messaging strategy. I help companies find their voice and use it consistently across every channel.

03
Event & Campaign Marketing

From Davos side events to product launches. I own the content strategy end-to-end: pre-event, live coverage, and the follow-through that makes it last.

04
CRM & Audience Segmentation

From managing 2,000+ contact networks to audience segmentation and database organisation. I help teams get the most out of who they already know.

You might be a good fit if you're...

A B2B startup or scaleup that's growing fast but your LinkedIn still looks like a ghost town
A founder who has real opinions and genuine expertise but hasn't found a consistent voice online yet
A professional services firm (architecture, consulting, finance, tech) that needs to look as good online as you do in person
An event or community brand that needs someone to own the content story from brief to publish

Where the thinking came from

Final year thesis Biophilic design Manchester School of Architecture

Before marketing, I trained as an architect. I spent years learning to research deeply, think systemically, and design with the end user at the centre of every decision. These skills now shape how I approach every brief.

My final year project explored biophilic design and community spaces. It taught me that good outcomes come from understanding people first, and building outward from there.
