Hi There.

Hello, I'm Sara Kuhs. (aka Sara Grunden-- I just got married and am changing my name so my identity is a little confused right now.)

I graduated from the VCU Adcenter (now known as the Brandcenter, to add to the identity issues) in 2004 and have been a copywriter at The Martin Agency (which has not recently changed its name) ever since.

I have been so fortunate to get a lot of experience on national brands like Hanes, Walmart, Miller, TLC, Ping and Geico. I've also enjoyed working on smaller brands like The Onion, Cruzan Rum, and Gifts In Kind.

I hope you enjoy my work and learn some fun things about me in the process!

The Onion

These print ads for The Onion were liberating. I was able to get as snarky as I wanted and uncage my inner "mean girl." They also won a Silver Pencil, which was a nice added bonus. The talented Mike Lear wrote some other headlines in this campaign, and there's one I always think of every time I look at these: "Hell is gonna be so cool." See you there, buddy.
