BETHLEHEM, Pa.

The addition reflects Turnstone\u2019s continued investment in integrated marketing strategy, creative collaboration and long-term organizational growth as the agency expands its work across nonprofit, healthcare, education and corporate sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarah is a creative at heart, but she also brings the kind of strategic thinking and leadership experience that fits naturally into how we work at Turnstone,\u201d said Tina Hasselbusch, CEO and co-founder of Turnstone Creative. \u201cThe first time we met, her energy was radiant. She understands the importance of connection, collaboration and thoughtful communication, and I know both our team and our clients will benefit from her perspective and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

As marketing manager, Elmer will help lead integrated marketing initiatives across social media, digital marketing, public relations, content and campaign strategy for a diverse portfolio of clients. She will work closely with Turnstone\u2019s creative, video, PR and client experience teams to guide collaborative campaigns and support the agency\u2019s continued growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cTurnstone was built around the idea that storytelling and strategy work best when people collaborate closely across disciplines,\u201d said Katie Santana, president of Turnstone Creative. \u201cSarah\u2019s background brings together creativity, communication and leadership in a way that complements the direction of our organization and the kind of work we continue to build together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elmer brings more than a decade of experience in marketing, creative direction and community-focused communications. Most recently, she served as marketing manager at Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley, where she led fundraising efforts, events and brand storytelling initiatives. Prior to that role, she worked for St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network as a creative marketing partner, supporting high-visibility campaigns across the healthcare network. Earlier in her career, she served as creative director and worship pastor at Vineyard Church of Chester Springs.<\/p>\n

With a background in freelance graphic design, Elmer studied at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and received her associate degree from Onondaga Community College.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best marketing begins with authenticity and connection,\u201d said Elmer. \u201cI\u2019m excited to join a team that values creativity, collaboration and community in such a genuine way. Turnstone has built something really special, and I\u2019m grateful to be part of what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n
