Trust your gut. These three words have guided Sarah Hogan throughout her professional and personal life. Whether it was the decision to pull over on the side of the road to capture her first professional news story in 2003, or moving across the country not once, but twice, before making Colorado her home.
When the opportunity to build Barefoot PR arrived, Sarah trusted her gut and jumped in feet first (barefoot and all).
Sarah joined Barefoot PR with a vision of being true to herself through public relations and community investment. She wanted to build a team and work with clients she not only trusts, but is also challenged by every day.
Sarah has helped to build an agency that works on heart and delivers the best possible product for the client. That’s the Barefoot Way.
Sarah’s path to a career in Public Relations started early. She trailed her dad – a former television executive – around TV stations throughout the Midwest. Sarah pursued her passion for communications in college and graduated from the University of South Florida with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications – Public Relations. Sarah is known for digging into the strategy of public relations and creating a clear and concise message.
Originally from Wisconsin, Sarah has made Colorado her home. She believes in being an active community member and has served as the Vice President of the Board for the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra, and Co-Chair of the Colorado Business Committee for the Art’s Cultural Leadership Award selection committee. She is a past board member of The Delores Project, and helped to found Behind the Red – an active professionals group for the American Red Cross Mile High Chapter. She is a graduate of the CBCA Leadership Arts program and Leadership Denver '19. In 2019 and 2020, she served as chair of the B:Civic Summit.
In her free time, Sarah is an amateur pastry chef – whipping up cookies, cakes and other sweet treats in her home kitchen, and is addicted to reality TV. She is also the proud “momma” to Andrew Quinn, her rough and tumble son.
