"As project manager it’s fair to say that Sarah McDonough brought the entire project to a higher level. She not only worked extremely hard, but she made us work hard and kept us on schedule. She was an integral part of the process and her insights and judgement were spot on time and time again. Hire her."

"Sarah worked with us on developing our marketing strategy in line with the needs of our business. She very quickly got on top of the brief, working seamlessly with key members of our team. Her work with client and non-client focus groups in particular was very focused and professionally executed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah’s work."

"Sarah has worked for many years with O2 on a wide variety of marketing projects ranging from leading insight & creative workshops, brand guardianship, change projects and new business ventures. Sarah's experience and her ability to engage with cross functional teams to deliver high quality outputs would be a real asset to any business. I would strongly recommend Sarah for any marketing or change projects."

"Sarah led a complex, international project, managing key deliverables, stakeholders and budget. Despite the complex nature of the project, Sarah delivered on time and within budget. Sarah is a professional who takes pride in getting the job done and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."

"Sarah and I have worked together for many years now. Her background in brand and customer experience enables her to give an added dimension as she understands brands from a strategic, execution and detail point of view. She always offers real value to any project and you know your project is in safe hands with her. She’s a pleasure to work with."

"Sarah worked for me on preparing the consumer facing content for the new 'o2.ie/help' Help & Support Community and developing and delivering the promotional plan. The success of this ground breaking project - combining live care, online care, multimedia content and Social Media - has been in no small part to Sarah's skills combined with a creative, consumer centric yet very brand aware approach. A real pleasure to work with and someone I look forward to working with again in the future."

"Sarah worked with us as a communications consultant during a period of rapid change within Coillte. She quickly got to grips with the brief and project managed some high priority projects for the group which touched on every part of the organisation. Sarah delivered with real impact and worked seamlessly with our internal team to ensure that every project she took on was delivered to the highest standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to any potential client."

"Sarah was engaged as a Consultant to work with me on a complete overhaul of branding at Microsoft’s EMEA Operations Centre in Dublin. Working to tight deadlines and across many teams, Sarah demonstrated her excellent skills in helping the business to take a step back and really focus on what was really important. She has a great ability to see ‘the big picture’ and help guide others along the way. With a strong external network to draw on to help execute the project from a conceptual design stance to technical implementation, Sarah was highly adept at keeping all aspects of the Branding Project under control and on budget. Most of all, I found Sarah an extremely pleasurable professional to work alongside with lots of energy and enthusiasm – nothing was too much trouble and she often went above and beyond to ensure the project was delivered on time. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Sarah."

"I worked closely with Sarah in her role as Country Manager for WXN in Ireland for a six-month period in 2010. Sarah is a consummate professional, with strong business acumen, superior marketing skills, and an exceptional work ethic. In her role as Country Director Sarah added value across the board, working collaboratively with WXN staff and key stakeholders to meet and exceed the expectations of WXN members and sponsors. I would readily recommend Sarah to any organization looking for an accomplished, highly motivated brand and communications advisor."

"I worked with Sarah for over five years in O2, she is a total marketing professional and excelled in the varying roles she filled there. Sarah is creative in both design and execution with a brilliant eye for detail. She is that rare individual who can not only think strategically but execute and follow through while inspiring those around her to perform and deliver to her own very high standards. She was a delight to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her."
