Nice to meet ya.
I’m Cerra (like Sara, but not), a Creative leader originally from an island in Washington State - where disembodied human feet sometimes wash ashore. I have over 15 years experience in advertising and marketing at some of the most recognized and awarded creative agencies working on the world’s most famous brands, products, and technologies. A few of these brands are: Netflix, YouTube, Target, Nike, Old Navy, Oreo, Activision, Xbox, McDonald's, Kraft, Lexus, NBA, Facebook, Google, and my dad’s rock and roll cover band.
Some of that work has been written about in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The One Show, Young Guns, Jezebel, Wired, Mashable, Creativity, Fast Company, and an illuminati conspiracy theorist’s YouTube channel. It also has been recognized in the industry events like Cannes, Communication Arts, D&AD, The One Show, AdWeek, AdAge, and Young Guns.
Even though it’s come in handy exactly one time during bar trivia, my mom wants you to know I have a Bachelor’s degree from Washington State University in Communications & History.
Let’s talk.
