Sarah Austin Brown · Marketing & Sales Director

About

The strategist behind the growth

I've spent the past 10+ years leading B2B marketing: brand, demand generation, partner marketing, and integrated campaigns that drive measurable growth. Owning a program end to end, from strategy through execution, is the work I love most.

What I'm most proud of is how naturally I move across a business. Whether it's sales, operations, technology, or strategy, I can step in, quickly understand what needs to happen, and help move things forward, all while staying detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.

At my core, I pair analytical thinking with creativity to deliver real results: building strong teams, collaborating across departments, and running campaigns that strengthen the brand and deepen relationships with clients and partners.

I'm also deeply AI-fluent. I use AI every day in real work, from research and campaigns to building tools, automations, and websites from scratch (including this one), which lets me move faster and deliver more than a single person normally could.

Deeply connected within the Denver marketing and technology ecosystem.

Real feedback from people I've worked with

One of the most dedicated, capable, and versatile professionals I've worked with. While Sarah serves as a Director of Marketing, her impact extends far beyond that title… She approaches every project with a level of ownership that's rare, always striving for the best possible outcome for both her team and the organization. She leads by example, inspires confidence in those around her… Any organization would be fortunate to have her.

Ayrien MachiranSenior Account Executive · Partnership Leaders

Working with Sarah has been one of the true highlights of my career… What sets her apart is the sheer range of what she brings to the table. She's not just excellent at sales and marketing, but also technology, AV, set and event design, web design, and so much more. Every time I think I've seen the full scope of her abilities, she surprises me by mastering something new. Sarah is, hands down, the best leader I've had the privilege to work with… She's the kind of leader you don't just want to follow, you want to emulate.

Margaux DuvallMarketing Operations & Creative Communications Specialist · Baptie & Co.

I've worked with Sarah twice over my career, and I'd recommend her without hesitation. She was the person the team leaned on for the hard cases: whenever a client was frustrated or struggling, they got handed to Sarah, because she could turn the relationship around and get them succeeding. That's a rare combination: patient teacher and closer. She also leaned into new AI tools early and folded them into her real work, the mark of someone who stays ahead of change rather than reacting to it.
