Celia De Benedetti
designer. creator. founder.
Celia De Benedetti has over 18 years in marketing communications, advertising, graphic design and social media expertise.
Beginning her career at Acer America, Celia spearheaded the in-house graphics department and then went on to manage all aspects of advertising, marketing, channel collateral and product packaging for Acer. While doing marketing communications and trade show management at two small start-ups in Silicon Valley starting in 1993, Celia got involved in website programming. At @Home Network '95-2000 she helped pioneer the technology backend of online marketing and advertising and headed the Internet Advertising Bureau committee that set the online advertising standards in place today.

Sarah Holliman
storyteller. strategist. marketer.
Sarah is a natural problem solver. Some of her work colleagues might say it is a by-product of using her editorial red pen. And in some ways they wouldn’t be wrong—when she sees something that needs to be fixed (or edited), she fixes it. Her clients and friends would see it as trying to overcome obstacles. Sarah’s career has somehow been wrapped around that concept since the get-go and although her path doesn’t seem obvious—from banker…to consultant to banks…to marketing for a consulting company…to marketing for a company with multiple lines of business...with a grad degree thrown in there somewhere—it has all been rooted in problem solving.
Sarah founded her own boutique agency and partners with go-getters like Celia at Amber:Idea to provide truly effective marketing in harmony with the work a company is doing. Celia and Sarah have worked together on projects for 10 years.
