Where creativity meets
strategic content
Sara Guerrini
Social Media Strategist
Ciao, I’m Sara, the strategist behind Ancona Creative.
I work with creative brands to turn their ideas into intentional, engaging content that connects with the right audience.
While I specialise in supporting indie authors, my approach goes beyond any one industry, blending storytelling, strategy, and visuals to create content that feels aligned, purposeful, and easy to maintain.
My work is rooted in the belief that your content should feel like a natural extension of your creativity, not something that pulls you away from it. That’s why I focus on simplifying the process, so you can stay in your zone of genius while your online presence grows with clarity and intention.
“Ancona” means home to me, and that’s the experience I aim to create: a space where your work is understood, communicated clearly, and genuinely connects with the people it’s meant for.
Work Experience
My background blends customer experience, creative thinking, and strategy.
In Italy, I started working in hospitality and sales at a young age, where I developed strong communication skills and learned how to understand what people truly want, not just what sells. This foundation shaped the way I approach audience research today, helping me create content that speaks directly to the right people.
In London, I grew within the same company from staff member to store manager, and later into a Research & Development role. There, I analysed customer behaviour and trends to develop new products; an experience that now translates into how I research, plan, and refine content strategies for my clients.
Alongside this, I completed a degree in History of Art with Curating while working full-time, which strengthened my eye for visual storytelling and consistency. I see social media as a curated space, where every piece of content contributes to a larger, cohesive brand narrative.
After moving to Australia, I formalised my marketing knowledge and began applying my combined experience in real-world projects. Since then, I’ve worked closely with clients to build content systems that are aligned, strategic, and designed to support long-term growth.

Note:
My personal brand content follows a slightly different approach. Alongside educational and strategy-led posts, I intentionally include content that reflects the world of my audience, such as books, storytelling elements, and creative concepts.
This allows me to connect not only as a strategist, but as someone who understands and participates in their space.
