Sara Robertson
| 
Partner
She keeps us looking good. Houseplants? Not so much.
As a partner in the firm and serving as GBQ’s director of market strategy, Sara has a tough job: keeping every initiative happening at GBQ on the industry radar. We know she works hard, but we didn’t know that she’s so rarely home that she “has trouble keeping houseplants alive.”
But, she admits, her job is killer in other ways as well, “I actually enjoy coming to work every day, because GBQ has a great group of talented people to learn from and laugh with.”
When our next campaign launches, we’ll get her a cactus.
