SARA JOHNSON

Founder & CEO


The initial concept for LeadLab Media started simply enough as a way for Sara Johnson to pay off college student loans.

While working at Chicago’s top agencies iProspect and Performics, Sara began moonlighting for mid-size agencies only to discover many were wasting a ton of money due to not having a good handle on how to get the most out of the platforms such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads.

In 2014, Sara quit her full-time job to work full-time to start a company dedicated to helping marketing teams.

Today LeadLab Media has grown into a core team dedicated to your account along with additional experts in analytics, tracking set-up, search, shopping, social, programmatic management, or ad ops that we can pull in as needed. This way, you only pay for the experts you need.

Sara is located in sunny Los Angeles, California.
