Polish & Punch

Hello, I’m Sarah Haslam. When people rekindle their reason for being in business because their words are crafted with care, insight, and intent, my heart soars. The digital doors to Polish & Punch ‘opened’ late in 2019 when a serendipitous encounter with another (successful) local copywriter brought to light a revelation: what I most wanted to focus on in marketing (and was mostly doing anyway) was crafting words to sell. In the years before that chance meeting, I had veered into marketing off the back of a successful sales career, completed three qualifications, and off I trotted into client, corporate, and agency world. Never able to settle anywhere, I became frustrated by corporate ruckus, open-plan offices, and the hustle culture of digital marketing. So I took my flair for words with a leap of faith into copywriting, despite the taunting ghouls in my head telling me I’d never make it. Luckily I made that leap because since I quashed the ghouls and upped the ante on my writing and brand voice skills, I’m able to bring a rather useful mix of expertise and experience to writing for your business. It’s a harmonious combination that helps you define, align and position your brand among the oceans of ordinary others. And it’s a damn handy blend that most now see is vital to strengthening their standing online. Welcome to Polish & Punch!
