I’m a Freelance Strategy Director who enjoys facilitating ideas - especially awesome ones with awesome people. 

Over the past 16+ years, I’ve worked on all types of projects. Some were traditional - like Super Bowl Commercials for Michelob ULTRA - and some were not - like a biometric study of a St. Vincent concert.

Whatever you have going on, I’d be happy to chat. But, fair warning, I may include a GIF or two.

Besides all the professional stuff he’s funny and a great person to have onboard—he’s collaborative and gets the job done without drama. What I really appreciate is his dedication to creative ideas. He’s all in on doing his part to inspire them, make them and get them out into the world.

I miss Sam’s briefs. They were smart, insightful, and inspiring.
— Jimmy Allen, Sr Group Creative Director, Razorfish, Sapient
Sam has the critical ability to slide into an organization, keep his eye on the prize, and deliver with patience and consistency at every turn.
— Ben Grossman, Head of Strategy, Doner, FCB
In the blink of an eye, he becomes your go-to in the office; you know he’s on top of everything (and more), he’s building collaborative relationships with colleagues across disciplines, he’s proactively bringing solutions to strategic problems you didn’t know about yet.
— Jaime Klein Daley, VP of Strategy, CBX, POSSIBLE, Redscout
He went above and beyond in terms of approaching the proposal in creative, progressive manners and were incredible problem solvers - taking on any crazy challenge we threw them (and there were many!).
— Amanda Fraga, VP, Head of Insights, Live Nation
If Sam wants to work with you, you need to work with him. Seriously. He’s helped out on a few projects at Walrus and the team here has already asked when he’s coming back for more.
