About

Local marketing, done right.

I'm based in East Tennessee, near Knoxville, and focused on local and small businesses that want a marketing partner, not a vendor.

I have cross-industry experience across landscaping, healthcare, real estate, construction, plumbing, and childcare, including hands-on work with Ames Play Yard.

I've managed Meta and Google ad budgets up to $2M annually.

On AI

"I use AI as a tool, not a crutch. It helps me move faster on app development, content collaboration, campaign structure, and even building sites like this one. The strategy and the judgment stay human."

Samuel was great. He made me a company logo that I am proud to display. He was able to understand what I needed with not much to go on. He worked with me till I was happy with the design.

Sam is enthusiastic and pleasant to interact with, and he knows social media. In fact, his web writing skills are so solid we used him for web copywriting as well as social media posts, and both products were good quality.
