A Little About…Little Ol’ Me.
Hi Friends!
Welcome to my website. My name is Sarah Lockard and I am honored to have you here. I’d like to share a bit about myself and my unique marketing background.
I grew up on Beechtree Lane and Midland Avenue in Wayne, Pennsylvania—the heart of the Main Line. After attending the University of Connecticut on a Division-One field hockey scholarship and graduating with a dual bachelors degree in journalism and communications, I worked in network television across America and the print magazine world for many, many years.
In 2008, fascinated by a new communications medium that was gaining steam called Facebook, I decided to launch my online magazine-AroundMainLine.com. For 13 years, and yes through a challenging Covid-economy, I helped local small businesses navigate social media, plan events and understand the power of professional photography in effectively communicating who they are.
A lifelong foodie, I was inspired to create the Philly burbs first ever suburban restaurant week in 2010, Main Line Restaurant Week, which I ran with my marketing partner OpenTable for nearly a decade. Main Line Restaurant Week gave me the exceptional opportunity to work one-on-one with the world’s top chefs and over 100 regional restaurants.
Now, today, I bring you 15 years of this intense and exciting life experience to my own website. It is here I can demonstrate my scope of work and skills and enthusiasm for all things social media.
It is a very challenging business environment we now live in. I know confidently if you are seeking a competitive edge for your local business that I can be of great value and assistance to you. Not only do I bring to the table my extensive experience, but my clients reap the rewards of having access to my robust AroundMainLine social platforms and online audience.
Lastly, I am passionate about capturing creative photos of client businesses for use in social media, marketing campaigns, websites and more. You can see examples of my work here on my photos page.
Expertise. Audience. Images.
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Sarah Lockard
