Passionate about storytelling, Sara Gomes leads the editorial direction and production of a wide range of audiovisual projects at WLP Innovation. Always drawn to bold ideas and out-of-the-box content, she’s also known for rarely forgetting a good story — or the details that make it memorable. She carries her paper diary everywhere she goes and, whether it’s summer or winter, never travels without a blanket.
Holding a degree in Communication Sciences, Sara has over twenty years of experience creating content for television, radio, print and digital platforms.
Her international career includes collaborations with media organisations in the United Kingdom, France and Angola. In London, she worked at the BBC World Service while also serving as the UK correspondent for Portugal’s leading weekly newspaper, Expresso. She also collaborated with Canal+.
Back in Portugal, she was a media consultant during the launch of CNN Portugal and currently serves as Executive Producer of the documentary series Marcas com História (Brands with History) and Marcas com Sustentabilidade (Brands with Sustainability).
Throughout her career, Sara has developed communication projects focused on sustainability, citizenship and international cooperation. She was part of the Planeta A initiative for the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, collaborated on several seasons of the award-winning documentary series Príncipes do Nada, and contributed to the documentary Dar Vida Sem Morrer, filmed in Guinea-Bissau for RTP1.
She has also led communication campaigns and audiovisual projects for major Portuguese public institutions, including ICNF, the Directorate-General of Health, the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, and Social Security. In cinema, she was Head of Content for TONY, the highest-grossing Portuguese documentary ever released in cinemas.
Alongside her work at WLP Innovation, Sara is currently developing a fiction series about Cape Verdean immigration to Portugal during the 1970s and 1980s. Supported by the Portuguese Film Institute (ICA) and RTP, the series is scheduled to premiere in 2027.
