My Experience

A public relations and new media consultant at Sevans Strategy, Sarah has worked extensively in the non-for-profit, higher education and healthcare sectors, focusing on media relations, message management, coalition building, deployment strategies and organizational change.But it's her personal mission - to engage and employ the use of emerging technologies in all communication - that connects her with a rapidly growing base of more than 26,000 people.A self-described "social media freak," she initiated and moderates #journchat, the top-trending weekly live chat between PR professionals, journalists and bloggers on the microblogging platform, Twitter. She is a guest writer for Mashable, one of the most popular blogs in the world, runs her own blog PRsarahevans.com and is a partner on namechk.com a web tool used to identify and secure brand names across multiple social media platforms. She most recently worked with a local crisis center to raise more than $144,000 in two weeks with the help of social media.A graduate of Millikin Univeristy in Decatur, Illinois, she is a life-long St. Louis Cardinals fan living in Chicago. Seriously.
