LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

ABOUT

I launched Sara McCord Communications in 2017 by partnering with small businesses too lean for marketing teams. They were in need of memorable messaging, branding that touched their audience’s hearts, and a marketing strategy that made them money—and we handled every aspect. In 2020, business owners nationwide sought me out for communications advice that carried them through Covid.

I spent 2021 diving into Web3—building and scaling the number one morning show on social audio. This entailed managing 80+ influencers worldwide, creating 50+ hour of live programming a week; overseeing a strategy that led to 100,000 podcast downloads in 75 days; pitching and managing sponsored and branded experiences; and building a community more than 100,000 strong. I transformed a Clubhouse room into a media company, bringing in top thought leaders from around the world, leading a rebranding including the creation of compelling messaging and collateral, building relationships across platforms—and sprinting toward what was next in interactive programming.

I run a full-service, values-led marketing agency and we specialize in creating viral marketing campaigns and meaningful content. After more than a decade of helping thought leaders and brands explode their reach through written, audio, and now video content--I'm here to help.

Madison Massey

DESIGNER
I help businesses turn their values into visuals.
I am one of three kids of a water-sport entrepreneur family who’ve always supported whatever venture my heart felt called to. Mainly, I found myself participating in entertainment, visual arts, and music (I blame the Disney trips and movie musicals).
With my storytelling focused background and natural skills for visuals- I was quickly embraced by companies as their “go-to” marketing girl in NYC. My favorite venture, being Atelier Paulin’s first American team member, helping them translate their brand’s marketing strategy towards their American audience.
When Covid hit, I had time to follow my curiosities with putting my own content on social media platforms- leading me to create a podcast that charted #1 in South America, became a monetized Youtube creator in 3 months, and have several stand alone million< views videos on both Instagram and Tiktok.
From that time on, I have fallen in love with helping other companies reach their fullest potential online. Often giving a critical Gen-Z spin on material, conjuring up new way to execute content, and spicing up visuals- static or video.
