Justin Sarris, MBA
President & Chief Consultant
Justin’s resume is very different from most marketing leaders’.
But with 15+ years of experience in technical support, media systems, and live entertainment, our founder understands how to connect technical and creative concepts with an audience.
His ability to coordinate and synthesize the needs of users, techs, creatives, and business owners was noticed long before he got into marketing. After being promoted to management roles at two separate companies at age 23, Justin was relied on heavily to communicate with clients, train users on technical systems, and manage 6- and 7-figure projects.
Now, as an MBA with a deep appreciation for the fundamental messaging strategies that underpin excellent copywriting, Justin has developed a rare and comprehensive understanding of business, art, and technology.
“Not only are we getting more leads, but they’re the kind of people who truly understand and align with what we’re about. It’s like when people find us, everything just clicks—what they’re looking for and what we offer just fits perfectly.
I’ve had clients tell me they had these ideas, Googled around, and then cityHUNT showed up. And on the calls, there’s a real value matchup happening.
We’re having more of those ‘this is a perfect fit’ moments, and it’s made all the difference.”
— Justin Walker, Producing Creative Director, cityHUNT
“I love working with Justin because this is not just a job for him. I always get more than marketing: I get guidance, I get the big picture.
It feels like every dollar we spend with Sarris Marketing comes back and makes us money.”
— Kris Schulz, Owner, Horizon School of Music
“I’m thrilled to have found Justin to help with copywriting. We’ve doubled active visitors to our website and have 4x the engagement on LinkedIn after working with Justin for just a few months.
He makes complex technical topics easy to understand and interesting to read about. He takes control of the process -- working with him is smooth and painless.
I know I can trust him to take care of my content marketing on schedule with a high level of quality. I’m happy to have content marketing in-hand now that I have his support.”
— Sam Scott, Principal AV Consultant, Chroma Systems
“Working with Justin taught me a lot about my business.
He found a way for me to really understand and convey who we were and where we wanted to go. Previously, we were kind of just doing what we could and enjoying the ride.
Now we have a renewed focus on getting where we want to go and a much clearer path on how to get there.”
— Chris Carmichael, Principal, Intersystem Controls

“Justin is a great sensemaker, which is fundamental to effective leadership.
His work is compelling to read, stimulating to think about, and illuminating from which to gain insight because of the thought he brings to an idea.
He asked “beautiful” questions.”
— Dr. Linda Bramble, Academic Coach, Strategy and Organizational Analysis, Athabasca University
“Justin is a fantastic marketer. It's pretty rare to work with someone who is well versed in multiple marketing disciplines. Aside from copywriting and positioning (his main focus), I've seen work he's done running Google Ad campaigns, building analytic dashboards, managing projects and copywriting and the quality of work is extremely high.
I don't refer a lot of work out but Justin is one of the few I trust to send clients to.”
— Daniel Thompson, SEO Lead, Saltwater Digital
“Sarris Marketing helped me refine my brand before setting up an Instagram ads campaign for our ‘Emerging Artist Program.’
That turned out really great. We got 118 applicants and my goal was 50. More than double what we were expecting, and I’m really excited to work with all of these.
The revenue generated from these campaigns has already paid for our new website.”
— Justin LaPointe, Owner, Barnhouse Sound Productions
