About Pauline
I’m passionate about telling compelling stories that meaningfully connect brands with their
audiences. Stories that ignite the imagination to make people think, laugh, click and engage.
My business has a global mindset and outreach, but with a Caribbean heart and soul. As the
founder of AC Marketing Caribbean, I manage and motivate a team that creates lead-
generating content for international companies in emerging Caribbean markets.
Whether it’s getting our videos on primetime local news or tapping into the networking
power of LinkedIn, my imaginative strategies work.
Harnessing my tech experience at Microsoft, I built a digital infrastructure for my remote
working team that fosters productivity for my clients. My data-driven approach means that I
create powerful, cost-effective solutions for my clients.
I’m obsessed with live streaming.
When I bought my first camera three years ago, little did I know how my rookie exploration
into the video universe would unfold.
Today, I’m the host of the LinkedIn Local Caribbean, which allows LinkedIn users to network
via free events, and the ACMLive show, which has its finger on the pulse of digital marketing
in the Caribbean.
From creating a live show for the Bankers Association of Trinidad and Tobago, to giving a
platform to local entrepreneurs on my shows, by embracing video, I’ve been able to
transform and elevate the profiles of my clients in the Caribbean.

About Sarah
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
