About Us

We're a boutique agency that combines LA Swagger with Texas Grit

why we started

How many times have you heard the same song used over and over on advertising content because it's "trending" and yet it's so unbearable?

How often have you heard an agency say "we turn ideas into reality"? Isn't that a given?

If you want to chase trends and create "me-too" campaigns, we're not for you.

We're the detour from the generic, seekers of the unorthodox.

Philip and Andrew started SAS because they were tired of playing it safe and wanted to do more impactful work that pushed the boundaries of traditional advertising.

In case you were wondering, SAS is short for Saweris + Salama. We didn't want to sound too stiff  😁

Philip 'PJ' Saweris | Managing Partner

"Advertising in its purest form evokes emotion, creates curiosity, and stimulates the imagination"

Philip has over two decades of marketing and consulting experience in various industries such as Oil & Gas, Telecommunications, Consumer Finance, Retail Energy, and Home Services.

He has successfully led multiple marketing initiatives including partnership development, affinity marketing, new channel development, new product launches, and more.

New challenges drive Philip, asking "why not?" and "what if?"

Andrew 'Drew' Salama | Partner, Creative Director
