Sarah Akhurst
Talk: Saturday 2 September, 12.30pm
Coming from a background in journalism, Sarah made the decision in 2010, to follow a long held passion and enrolled on the Intensive Cordon Bleu Diploma at Tante Marie Culinary Academy. Her plan was to gain a practical grounding in cookery before using these new found skills to launch herself back in to the niche area of food and drink journalism.
Sarah now heads up one of two food teams at the content marketing agency Seven Publishing. Seven has a number of brands on its roster, two of the largest being Sainsbury’s and Weight Watchers.
Sarah’s team is responsible for creating all of the food content in Weight Watchers’ monthly magazine and also for developing recipes for Sainsbury’s online content; including its recipe hub, Instagram and Facebook feeds and also for above the line advertising campaigns.
