Director of Youth & Cause-Driven Marketing

Sarah Newton

Sarah Newton, a recognised Youth Expert, has spent the last 14 years immersed in the culture of the milennials and youth. Sarah helps companies to connect, engage and motivate young people. A recognized thought leader in this field, Sarah is known for having one eye on the future and her finger on the pulse, giving her an amazing insight into youth culture and future trends. Sarah has been included in a list of The top 50 youth marketing and trends people to follow on Twitter and sits on future panels in the UK for matters concerning families and youth.

She is a dichotomy really; her first job was at Disney World in Florida and her last as a police officer in London. In between, Sarah has opened the first eco-friendly restaurant (her degree is in Hotel and Catering Management) in her area, managed young, dynamic teams and helped many entrepreneurs build and market youth-based businesses. At the tender age of 23, Sarah was recognised for her up and coming talent in a large organisation for her innovation in sales and marketing, when the establishment she managed returned 150% above forecast. She has served as the Marketing Director for two coach training firms and is trained in Guerrilla Marketing. Sarah is a serial entrepreneur too and is currently delighted to be involved with three youth-based businesses.

Since starting her own consultancy based business in 2001, Sarah has helped aspiring singers release their first album, fledgeling authors write their first books, bored 9-to-5ers launch their new careers, struggling parents gain control of their homes and young people plan the lives they never thought possible. She has also launched herself into a healthy media career, which has seen her host two TV series, appear on most TV channels, be seen by 1 in 4 of the UK population and get a book deal with Penguin. Let’s just say that Sarah knows how to get attention and take action.
Sarah lives in Northampton, England with her two daughters Bronte (13) and Freya (9), her husband and a menagerie of animals. In her spare time she lives the life of a 1950’s diva with car, hubby and a whole lot of handbags to prove it!

Sarah’s other projects include:

Gen Y Guide, helping you connect, engage and mobilize today’s youth.
Fink Cards, as one of the FINK Diva Duo, family and teen communication experts.
