Words from My Former clients

"I have known Sam for almost all of my advertising career. I learned of Sam’s recruiting connections when I wanted to leave what was my first agency job. At the time I was too junior and I remember her telling me to reach out in a few more years when I had more experience. Well, it was Sam who would check in on me from time to time. Even though some of the opportunities weren’t the best fit, I always appreciated her consideration. I credit Sam for always putting me in front of career changing opportunities and for helping me land one of the best agency jobs I have had to date. Over the years I have come to consider her a trusted mentor and friend."

Episode Four

I’ve been a huge fan of yours since our first chat back when you first started recruiting. Even when I was toting around a student book of cut and tape headlines, you were so cool and kind to me.

I would always listen with rapt envy when my friends who you represented raved about you. :)

I couldn’t be more supportive of your new chapter and I think it’s sorely needed. I can only imagine how many people you’ll help.

Sam found my book in the most unorthodox of ways. She recognized potential and talent in me as a junior creative coming from a smaller shop with not a ton of produced work that really felt representative of my capabilities as a creative copywriter. Not only did Sam help me land two job offers in a tough industry to break into, but she became my go-to when I needed career advice over the years. Though it wasn't her official job at the time, Sam was a personal career coach to me as I received other offers and worked out how to navigate the advertising industry as a whole. Unlike many recruiters I'd worked with, I never felt that Sam's advice was self-serving. She nudged me in the direction that she knew would be best for me, not the one that would land her a bigger bonus check. We'd all be lucky to have someone looking out for us as much as Sam looks out for her creatives.

“I think I just didn’t want to exist like that anymore... I had to ask myself the questions like the ones we talk about here. Why don’t I speak up? Why does this give me anxiety? And then it shifted.”

“I didn’t even know this cool, creative agency world existed in New York until I stumbled into it, thanks Sam!”

“Every time I listened to what I actually needed, whether it was rest, connection, or space, I made more progress than when I tried to push through.”

“I have all these ideas, but I didn’t know how to talk about them in a way that made sense. Now I have language for it.”
