Hey I’m Sam – a Social Media Director specialized in the health & fitness industry with nearly 10 years’ experience. 

Throughout my career I have been blessed to work with several leaders in the industry such as C4 Energy, Cellucor, XTEND, Legion Athletics, The National Strength & Conditioning Association, and more.  

One of my biggest learnings is that social media is…bigger than social media. Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to build and execute social-first campaigns and launches, crafted brands’ TOV and overall strategy, built memorable brand experiences at scale, led social campaigns and creatives with some of your favorite athletes and celebrities, launched and brought to life experiential events to the world on social, and so much more. 

More than anything I view myself as a strategist that lives on social and brings all facets of a brand to life through all strategic levers: brand messaging + strategy, content, creative, partnerships, channel strategies, commercial, experiential, and more. 

I love what I do, I love meeting new people so feel free to reach out!

Wanna know the best part about working in Social Media? The fact everyone thinks it’s easy and that they can do your job because they have an Instagram 😅

P.S. it’s not easy

Director, Social & Brand @ Cadence | Ex C4 Energy | Social Media Guy in the Health & Fitness Industry

Do you ever go to make a Social Post and think “oh man this is gonna do numbers”…

And then it doesn’t…do numbers? 😅

Ah yes, that’s my favorite.

LinkedIn would be 10X more entertaining if Social Media Professionals regularly posted content, stunts, and ideas that were not approved by legal…

Could you imagine? 😂
