Sarah Bagner (Supermarket Sarah)
Supermarket Sarah is a web store where items are displayed on real walls. Users simply click and buy. The walls started in Sarah's living room but have spread into public spaces, bars, galleries and Sarah has had several pop-up stores in Selfridges London in the shape of giant walls! Supermarket Sarah has evolved into a platform for young talent and is regularly featured in wide range of media from Style Bubble to the Guardian to the BBC News. Sarah's book Wonder Walls: Supermarket Sarah's Guide to Display is out now. From Living Room to Selfridges to writing a book about Walls around the world and working with top designers and brands Sarah talks about how you can go your own way and create your own path, the importance of ideas and bold images, social media and PR, the new advertising world and the merging of all the creative arts.
