About

Cause Relations is a boutique public relations consultancy founded by Sarah Hayes, a Carlsbad, California-based communications professional with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations build credibility and gain meaningful media attention.

Unlike larger agencies where work is often delegated across multiple account teams, clients work directly with Sarah from strategy through execution. This hands-on approach allows for senior-level attention on every project and quicker turnarounds to results.

Over the course of her career, Sarah has supported tech startups, local establishments and nonprofits across a wide range of industries, with a recent focus on energy and sustainability technologies. Having helped build business ideas into realities from the ground up, she understands the challenges of turning thoughts into something others can grasp and believe in. Sarah has built longstanding relationships with reporters across national, local and trade media, helping shine a light on innovative organizations and the people behind them.
