I have worked with Sam at US WEST Communications and Accruit. He has a good eye for compelling design on all marketing vehicles; open-minded creativity and imagination; fluid mapping of features to benefits in context; and an engaging flair for showmanship without showboating. Social media has created a completely new ecosystem with experts like Sam at the forefront. His work in social media is a powerful force multiplier. He can grasp the emergent relationships between the moving parts and optimize the dynamics of the whole. Not all marketers have to become programmers, but those like Sam who know their way around the mashable web of widgets and APIs create a competitive advantage for the companies they serve.

Sam is also one of the best marketing/PR writers I have ever known. I have worked with the top agencies in the country, and managed some of the biggest commercial brands. Sam ranks in the top 3% of those undeniably brilliant creative minds. Not only is he a talented writer, Sam has an extremely knowledgeable set of skills in employee-based strategy and organizational issues. It is difficult to find areas where Sam can’t contribute, if no less than to direct the outcome.
