Let's have a chat with Sarah and find out a little more about her...

Why did you want work in radio advertisement?

Radio has been an important part of my life from a very young age. It has been there with me in the mornings, on my commute to and from work, and during quiet evenings at home. I love music, culture and attending local events; local radio really encompasses all of that and more. Radio has been there throughout prominent moments in society, including the Covid lockdowns, when many of us felt isolated (including myself at times), radio provided a sense of comfort and connection. Hearing real local voices, people experiencing the same challenges, brought reassurance, positivity, and guidance. 

That is the power of local and community radio: it brings people together. I think that is something to be proud of being involved in.

Why did you choose Beyond Radio?

This is why Beyond Radio resonates with me, it's REAL local radio. Not only do they play fantastic music (including our very own local music), they are built around community; celebrating what’s local, championing people who deserve recognition, and giving individuals a platform to share their stories. Whether it’s someone releasing a book about our local area, the opening of a new high street business, a community event that brings us together, an important social campaign, or charity events that truly change lives, these are the moments that deserve to be highlighted.

I realised this is something I want to help amplify. I want to promote the incredible work of our local businesses, brands, creatives, and charities. I’m a people person at heart - I love understanding what people need and helping them bring their ideas and ambitions to life.

When I first explored this role as an Advertising and Sales Executive, it was clear how passionate the leadership team and everyone involved are about their stations. Their commitment to helping local businesses, brands, and events succeed is inspiring. I am here to support and contribute to that shared mission. Together, we’ve already created some fantastic and innovative ways to promote local organisations and importantly, we do it in a way that remains accessible and affordable.

What are your goals with Beyond Radio?

Looking ahead, I want to deepen my relationships with local businesses, charities, brands, and the people behind them. My aim is to offer a wide range of high-quality, creative, and tailored advertising solutions that suit different budgets and encourage people to support local.

I want to champion our community and build long-lasting, meaningful working relationships. Our stations are trusted, and the strong testimonials we receive demonstrate the real difference we’ve made to local businesses. I want to continue (and expand) that positive impact.
