Background

About Sarah Marquart

I began my career in fundraising at Keuka College, where I led content creation for a $30M comprehensive outreach campaign. For the ‘15-’16 year, these marketing initiatives resulted in $5.5M in gifts. In 2014, I joined Futurism, a growing science and technology media publication, as a freelance writer in my free time. This evolved into a full-time role where I was quickly promoted from staff writer and editor to Managing Editor, leading a team of 25 and overseeing cross-company endeavors across departments. Under my leadership, the publication secured a collective readership of 145M, social followings of over 15M, and received over 1.8B video views across its channels. I covered SpaceX launches at NASA, worked on a mini film with Sophia the Robot, and interviewed Freeman Dyson at the U.N. I was also part of the team that spearheaded the launch of Gravity Products, generating $25M+ in annual revenue. After a year in this role, I was promoted to Deputy Editor, where my responsibilities expanded to include cross-departmental initiatives and project management. When Singularity University acquired Futurism in 2019, I was promoted to Director of Strategic Operations across Futurism and its new parent company. I led strategic and operational communication, planning, and execution across divisions. Under my leadership, the publication secured 97.2M monthly impressions, 3.19M monthly uniques, and an 8.3M social following across all platforms. I took a year away from full-time work to freelance during the pandemic. Throughout 2020 and 2021, I crafted marketing campaigns for my favorite horror movies, worked as a science consultant on a series being pitched to Netflix, and ran social media for a Star Trek podcast and space.com- Other clients I've worked with: I've created and project-managed, end-to-end multi-channel marketing campaigns for clients, including Porsche, Lacoste, the Dubai Future Foundation, the NFL, Hanson Robotics, IBM, GE, Toyota, ConsenSys, HP, and more Published by: World Economic Forum, Interesting Engineering, Insider, Universe Today, ScienceAlert, the Future of Life Institute, and more.
