Best and Brightest: Sarah Louise Rhodes

Senior Account Executive

CBPR

27

Charleston

As a senior account executive at CBPR, I assist in public relations, social media, and influencer marketing efforts for businesses across the southeast and beyond. As a South Carolina native, I feel fulfilled by helping local businesses succeed and watching the Lowcountry grow. From securing press hits in the likes of Forbes, Southern Living, Wall Street Journal and more, to helping execute grand openings and community events, this position has allowed me to grow not only as a publicist, but also as a member of Charleston's community. I've also grown my social media presence to over 200,000+ followers across Instagram and TikTok (@thespritzeffect), where I share cocktail recipes, Charleston restaurants, and my slice of life here in the Lowcountry. The network of creators, business owners, and friends that this endeavor has given me has been an incredible gift, and I look forward to continuing to grow this platform and foster the community that it has created.

Favorite Quote and Why: "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh. This nostalgic quote serves as a daily reminder to believe in myself wholeheartedly – because for others to believe in you, you first have to believe in yourself.

Advice to 18-Year-Old Self: I would tell my 18-year-old self that you are capable of anything you put your mind to, and that when others may doubt you, use that doubt to fuel your ambition and prove them wrong.
