Bio
Jess Thompson
Sam is a hugely capable marketer who I always noted as happiest when given the information and then the freedom to deliver a project. She thrives on delivery, listens well, seeks clarification and additional insight at every turn, and can always be relied upon to put an energetic and creative spin on the work at hand. Her strategic instincts are excellent and she does not back away from a challenge. She keeps audience and action in mind at all times, as any good marketer should. I would hire Sam again in a New York minute and I was very sad to leave her behind when I moved on!
Chris Dance
I had the pleasure of working with Sam during her final year at GAME. Everything Sam worked on was done with a sense of pride and passion that is a rare quality to find. She genuinly cares about the customer journey and is great at working collectively at finding the best solution. Always full of great ideas and suggestions, Sam was never afraid to voice her opinion which was always very welcome. Not only that, her ideas were always followed through with actual designs and concepts. Not content with a good idea alone, Sam made things happen and always kept the ball rolling. I'm sure I express the views of many that Sam's departure is a huge loss to GAME, who will very much be missed. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her.
