I have worked with Sam for the past 5 years, and I've not only seen him excel at the core elements of his job - to deliver successful marketing and communication strategies - but also through various projects that extend this. Run for Charity has benefited immensely from Sam's expertise as he is always full of innovative and exciting ways to deliver fantastic results!
