Being Freelance

Silicon Valley and standup comedy - Copywriter Sara DeForest


Listen Later

Sara started freelancing in 2018 after she was laid off from a VP of Marketing role in Silicon Valley. Since then, she’s relied on her network and word of mouth referrals to keep the work coming in.

When she’s not working for clients, Sara spends her time doing standup comedy. As well as gigging regularly, she’s spoken at the SXSW conference about the links between standup and marketing and how practising standup comedy can make you a better marketer.

She chats to Steve about finding balance, working from home, managing her time, and how she combines both of her ventures - comedy and marketing - on just one website.
