Creative Pod appoints new managing director

Surrey-based marketing agency Creative Pod has promoted Sarah Lyons to managing director as it marks its 20th year in business.

Sarah joined the agency in 2017 as a senior marketing executive and has progressed through a series of roles, most recently serving as marketing director.

She has played a key role in scaling the agency’s marketing and design functions, introducing new processes and supporting long-term strategy.

Sarah said: “I’m incredibly proud to be stepping into the managing director role at Creative Pod, a business that has shaped so much of my career and life and that I care deeply about.

“Becoming a new mum to my baby girl while also taking on this next chapter feels a little surreal, but in the best possible way. 

“Both roles demand heart, resilience and big-picture thinking, and I am excited to bring all of that to drive the agency forward while showing my daughter what it means to be a working mum and a woman in leadership. 

“We have an amazing team, a brilliant culture and ambitious plans, and I cannot wait to see what we achieve together.”

Sarah’s appointment follows nearly a decade with the business, working closely with founder and chief executive Matt Turner to support its growth and development.

Matt added: “Seeing Sarah rise to the managing director role is something I’m extremely proud of. It’s a true testament to her hard work, determination and loyalty. 

“Seeing my team flourish is one of the greatest achievements an entrepreneur can have. 

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how Sarah takes the business to the next level.”
