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 many times have you heard an agency say "we turn ideas into reality"? Isn't that a given?
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 want to do more impactful work that pushes the boundaries of traditional advertising.
In case you were wondering, SAS is short for Saweris + Salama. They didn't want to sound too stiff 😁

We are not for everyone.
Our clients are open minded, frustrated with status quo, and most importantly, ready to act.
If you're wanting to chase trends just to keep up with the "Joneses", we're not for you.
If you're wanting to create your own taste and have your voice heard above the noise, let's talk!
