Sarah Boyd

Sarah Boyd is the Founder and creative force behind Simply, Inc, a collective with one goal in mind: connecting. Dubbed the “dot connector”, Sarah started her career in Fashion PR, the industry she called her own for 10 years. In 2012, she decided to channel her expert industry know-how, her extensive list of contacts and her countless amiable relationships into pursuing the most challenging endeavor of her career, starting her own business. Simply, Inc encompasses two sister companies and is rapidly expanding as the need for expertise in the digital space and influencer relations continues to grow in the ever evolving marketplace.

Simply Stylist is the first branch of the company and under this shingle, Sarah and her team produce the annual Simply Stylist ‘Do What You Love’ Fashion and Beauty Conference in LA, NY and Chicago. Individual conference attendance has exceeded 700 participants since the first conference in 2012. In addition, Simply Stylist hosts smaller monthly workshops in LA, where local influencers share their insights with groups of 30-50 attendees looking to gain a “cliff notes” style crash course on various industries. The company also curates a popular blog and several high engagement social media channels that cater to the stylish, career-oriented readership.

The newest branch of Simply Inc. is the Simply Digital Network, which sees Sarah handling monetization and partnerships for the most sought after celebrity bloggers. Her clients include Shay Mitchell, Alessandra Ambrosio, Jamie Chung, Catt Sadler, Louise Roe and many more who look to Sarah to help them capitalize on their influential status in the entertainment industry to make their mark on the blogosphere.

Aside from being a savvy entrepreneur, Sarah is also a trusted fashion aficionado. She has lent her name and style likeness to launch successful jewelry collaborations, including Sarah Boyd x Capwell and a specially curated collection with Gorjana & Griffin, from which all proceeds were donated to the anti-bullying charity, The Farley Project. Sarah is also responsible for the Simply Stylist for eLuxe line, a collection of tops, notebooks and hangable prints that boast motivational quotes that align with the Simply Stylist mission.

Most recently, Sarah co-founded the International Style Institute, a company that put on its very first 3-day styling course this year with celebrity stylist, Anita Patrickson. The International Style Institute will host courses in New York and Los Angeles and hopes to expand the experience to other countries in the near future.

Sarah’s reach is undeniable, as exemplified by the buzz that constantly surrounds her company and all its associations. She has been able to secure partnerships with prestigious brands like CITI, The Grove, Topshop, Barney’s New York and many more. Press features include Marie Claire, People Style Watch, Fox News, E!, LA Business Journal, to name a few, and she was named a "Female Founder to Watch" by Forbes in 2013 before becoming a Forbes Fashion and Beauty contributor, herself, in 2014.

In June of 2015, Sarah was selected to participate in a swimwear campaign with Target and Style Expert Zanna Roberts Rassi that used bloggers of all shapes, sizes and colors in lieu of typical fashion models to encourage all women to embrace their bodies and find the best swimwear available. The campaign was the first of its kind and was picked up by major outlets like Refinery29, E!, PopSugar and Buzzfeed, garnering high praise for its authenticity and inspiration to women everywhere.

Sarah’s drive, coupled with her uncanny ability to bring together like-minded individuals in a motivating and kind environment will undoubtedly ensure constant growth, both personally and professionally, in the digital space and beyond!
