Sarah Melamed
President

A woman is the foundation upon which any house is built, including the agency we all call home. To be honest, we’d be hard-pressed to find a better cornerstone than Sarah. Her passion for great creative is showcased by 20 years of experience as an award-winning copywriter on brands like Rubbermaid, Mr. Coffee, Dirt Devil, Libbey Glass, Cedar Point and the Convention & Visitors Bureau of Greater Cleveland. But it’s Sarah’s sensitivity to the quality of work across all disciplines that best defines her leadership.

Both her abilities and dedication endured a trial by fire when Sarah took the reins during a historically slow period in the advertising industry. While other agencies floundered, Sarah successfully led the charge in adding a number of new accounts to our roster.

Besides her agency heroics, Sarah devotes a great deal of time and energy to supporting important organizations in our own backyard. She currently serves as a board member for the YWCA of Greater Cleveland, the AAAA Cleveland Council Board of Governors and the Greater Cleveland Film Commission. Sarah also is very active in United Way of Greater Cleveland and the American Advertising Federation of Cleveland.

Sarah has been recognized by National Association of Women Business Owners as one of the “top 10 women business owners in Northeast Ohio” as well as a Crain’s Cleveland Business 2006 Woman of Note. She was also recently named an inductee for the 2007 AAF-Cleveland Advertising Hall of Fame.
