Testimonials: Sarah was the first consultant I've used on MediaBistro. I'm delighted that she hit the ground running with clear, concise writing and also added alot of value during the creative process. We've since worked on diverse campaigns together (including the high-tech and automotive sectors) and I'll continue to use Sarah as a trusted, responsive partner. Ellen M. Goldstein - President, Gazelle Marketing Inc. We were in a crunch to find a professional writer to finish up a very large corporate project. We went to Media Bistro to find one that would fit our needs, and one that would work well with people in our company. Sarah Humphreys was so easy to work with and so accommodating with all the last-minute changes. The project simply seems painless now. Sarah definitely put the finishing touches with her copy, to make the project a success! We look forward to working with her again. Leslie Yoshimura - Art Director, GUESS? Inc.
