Sarah Ackerman

I always knew I loved stories and storytelling, but it wasn’t until a high school English teacher encouraged me to join the newspaper staff that I realized a love of writing could become a career. I went on to graduate from North Central College with a degree in Marketing and Finance and Arizona State University for a Masters in Community Resources and Development.  

As a professional, I have nearly two decades of agency and in-house experience in copywriting, branding, and content strategy. My marketing and communications career began at an agency writing for frozen, deep-fried foods and ice cream cakes. Later, I shifted to focus on nonprofits and grew into the role of Creative Director, leading campaigns for national nonprofits to drive awareness and donations and advance their missions. Landing at Blue Door Consulting is a natural evolution. Here, I can take all of my learnings and life lessons and apply them to new clients, finding innovative, audience-first solutions that drive impact.  

Since 2009, I have lived in Atlanta, Georgia. When I’m not at work, I enjoy playing tennis, running my neighborhood Book Club, and exploring the North Georgia mountains with my husband and our two dogs.
