Sarah Maxwell, Director of Business Development at Mangostorm Media, is an avid fan of TableCrowd, and we have had the pleasure of her joining us for dinner on numerous occasions. Our resident namecard artist thoroughly enjoys drawing a ‘mango storm’ every time! So, we were over the moon when Mangostorm decided to be one of our esteemed partners. Here’s an interview with Sarah herself, to give you an insight into Mangostorm Media and what they do.

What is Mangostorm Media?
Mangostorm Media is a Digital Marketing Agency dedicated to helping emerging and established companies build their brand awareness and acquire new customers. We specialise in helping businesses in the lifestyle, health, beauty and sharing economies sectors.

What’s your role?
Director of Business Development, I actively attend numerous networking and tech innovation events to gain marketing insights and to meet prospective clients that I can tell are poised for great success and helping them to achieve affordable results quickly.

What were you doing before you joined Mangostorm Media?
I worked in NYC, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley as a Marketing Consultant with a variety of clients in Digital Media, Hospitality, and Entertainment. I have always had a passion for all things that add value to people’s lives whether it is in Wellness, or new Technologies. I worked with a company that helped to make television interactive, hence in-flight entertainment and the ability to cast your vote to a show like The X Factor. I like to see “the power to the people” effect.  I truly enjoy helping businesses grow through strategic partnerships, smart marketing and supporting entrepreneurial spirit.

What were the firm’s [or industry’s] biggest developments in 2014?
We added a number of suppliers and platforms to our service offering that have enabled us to be much more highly targeted with our digital marketing efforts as well as have very detailed analytics. We also grew our team to offer more brain power and experience.

What will 2015 bring?
We are very excited about the dynamic new technology clients we are bringing on board as they are revolutionary in nature and feel strongly that they will be leaders in their industry. One is designed to enhance the customer experience in fashion and the other is aimed at making presentations easy to share on Twitter and in Social Media and with live engagement from the audience.

Convince someone to use your service in under 50 words?
At Mangostorm Media we have a truly dedicated and talented team. We are committed to the success of our clients to help them grow and prosper. They are so pleased with the results that most have stayed with us year-on-year, as well as sent many referrals, which is the best form of testimonial you can receive.

What’s your favourite London restaurant?
The Modern Pantry, the savoury and the hazelnut croissant. Super yummy.
