Sarah Waldron - Senior Account Manager
Sarah joined Cabbage Tree Creative in June of 2007 after being a client of the company for two years. She brings with her a raft of tourism marketing and account management experience as well as her inimitable people skills.
Born in the deep south, Sarah quickly developed a passion for sport. She reached top honours in netball, softball and basketball, and somehow managed to still fit in time to pass her exams. After school, Sarah became an Inland Revenue Auditor - not really a path she wanted to be on.
However, a move to Queenstown saw Sarah discover a passion for the ski industry which took her around the world before she settled into a Christchurch-based marketing role with nzski. Her General Manager at the time, said she was like a pig in muck and had found her niche so with marketing trends heading towards all things web, it was a natural progression for her to work at Cabbage Tree Creative.
Sarah appreciates a good wine, that is, when she’s not doing shifts as a volunteer counselor at Lifeline, coaching basketball or DIY on her house. On the odd occasion when Sarah does have spare time, she spends it chilling at the beaches in North Canterbury in summer, walking her adorable Irish Setter or reading a fab book curled up on the couch with the fire crackling in winter.
