ABOUT SARAH PANUS
Hi! I'm Sarah Panus. I help content marketers think like Editorial Directors to build and manage winning brand storytelling strategies using my signature EFD method (empathy+focus+data); pulling from nearly 20 years’ experience helping billion-dollar brands drive leading ROI through brand storytelling. Before starting Kindred Speak (my consulting biz), I spent the majority of my career leading content strategy on the corporate side, and understand the pressures you face. I come from a world managing up to $10M budgets, but know how to get scrappy too.
Like all moms, I wear a lot of hats: Minnesota mama, content strategist, podcast host of Marketing With Empathy, and owner of Kindred Speak LLC. My mission is to add value to the world by helping humanize brand connections; help content marketers reduce overwhelm/confusion; and raise money to fund child trafficking rescue missions.
Whether I'm working as an extension of your internal team; coaching you from behind-the-scenes in one of my online brand storytelling courses; or jumping in on a quick project, I look forward to helping you.
