I am a Creative Director, Problem Solver, Designer, Illustrator, Creative Unicorn, curious like a cat, and always looking to create that thing that no one’s ever seen before. I have led and collaborated with internal and external teams to produce innovative products in ad tech, AI, machine learning, data collection, and developed engaging campaigns around them including, packaging, web, and strategic designed experiences for clients such as Meta, Reebok, Pepsi, and Salesforce. As Creative Director and Designer at SomeKidStudio, I provide a suite of marketing, creative production, thinking, and consultation services to businesses of all sizes. I also volunteer as a mentor at adplist.org, where I share my insights and expertise with aspiring and established marketers and creatives around the globe. Personally I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new ideas, and challenge myself to grow as a creator and a leader.

I have a passion for helping people achieve their career goals. In recruiting, I'm able to do this by helping people realize their true potential and be able to convey that to hiring managers. Prior to recruiting, I worked as an art director and always had my hands on technology in the design space. Today, I am bridging the communication barrier between technology and design teams. Focus on digital and emerging technology including AR/VR, gaming, design, marketing, product, art direction, copywriting, UX/UI research/design, program/project management, social media, operations, strategy, HR, and engineering. Strategic partner and coach, building effective relationships for success in talent and HR strategies. https://www.rebeccatherecruiter.com/

Hi👋, I’m looking forward to connecting with you! Building people-first organizations is my lifeblood. I care deeply about the employee experience because I've witnessed firsthand how it can foster a supportive workplace at all levels and contribute to successful business outcomes. Plain and simple — I care about people and love operations! Here’s a bit more about me and my background. 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 🚀 I jumped into creative advertising, where I got to work with incredibly talented individuals and be a part of building award-winning creative campaigns. Collaborating with art directors, writers, and producers, I had to develop effective talent-resourcing plans with tight production deadlines and budget constraints while supporting project delivery. I learned the importance of cultivating a strong team dynamic. 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 🫶 Creative Operations opened the door to People Operations, where I made a big impact on teams. My roles at Odopod as Manager of Studio Culture and later as Director of Operations & Culture allowed me to shape the workplace environment as the company expanded. During an acquisition by Publicis Groupe, I led transition initiatives and gained experience in human resources, benefits, communications, reorganization, global rebranding, and technology integrations. My work earned the highest company award (The Bird Trophy🐦‍⬛) for going above and beyond. (thanks Odopeeps ♥️) 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 📊 At Brainrider as the Director of Creative Operations, I had the privilege of leading and expanding the contingent workforce service for their largest client, Meta. That success led to a promotion to VP and then to the COO role, overseeing global teams, strategic business planning, and the entire client portfolio, including Lyft, Indeed, Coinbase, and others. I supported 150+ employees in 3 countries while improving employee retention and happiness ratings. I also streamlined processes and increased revenues by creating a flexible resourcing model. 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊 📲 If you want to chat with a passionate operations leader who can bridge the gaps between people, productivity, and performance, I’d love to connect! Outside of work, spending time outdoors with my family and my senior mutts 🐶🐶, and taking my favorite group classes at Corepower and OrangeTheory keeps me happy. Let’s talk, Amanda

I'm a demand & growth marketer who loves building stuff. 🔨 In the last 5 years since I started working for myself. I've made over a million dollars for myself across 3 different businesses. 1️⃣ I consult with B2B startups to grow their inbound acquisition program. This is largely in the form of Google and Linkedin Ads, and conversion optimization. 2️⃣ I run a gaming tech blog that let's me play with gadgets and practice SEO on a site I fully control. 3️⃣ I've launched a few micro-SaaS, most notably Banter. A Slack app that promotes team building fun conversation starter games. I'm here on Linkedin to connect with like minded people and share my journey and learnings along the way. If you're interested in working with me, here's a little bit more about how I work with companies: → I'm a technical marketer, I'll grind it out and set everything needed to run successful campaigns. That can mean setting up conversion tracking or landing pages or whatever else. → I like to move fast. Because I can build stuff out myself. I like to launch and learn quickly. There's no such thing as perfect. → I love business stuff. I've had the fortune of working with a large variety of businesses. Different business models, budgets and goals. I have strong opinions on how growth marketing should be done, but as always: it depends on the business' context. I care deeply about delivering good business outcomes. If you're down here at the bottom of this about section, then thank you! Please connect and reach out if you liked the vibe. You can check out all the things I'm up to here: https://raymondsam.com

I didn’t start by thinking about systems. I started by trying to get decks done. For the better part of 15 years, I was the person teams went to when something needed to look good fast. Sales decks. Event keynotes. Executive all-hands. I built my reputation on accountability, speed, and execution. But the more I delivered, the more I saw the real problem: It wasn’t the slides. It was everything around them. No templates that worked. No intake process. No owner. No time. Just recurring stress and inconsistent output. That’s what changed my perspective. Presentation design wasn’t a task to complete. It was a system problem to solve. One most companies never plan for. It usually lands in the lap of the brand team, creating resource strain and patchwork solutions. I’ve sat inside sales orgs, enablement teams, and high-growth creative departments. I’ve supported executives, marketers, product teams, and field ops. And every time, I saw the same pattern: Presentation design was critical, but it was no one’s job to make it better. It's no longer a nice-to-have. It’s a core creative function. And yet, for most, it’s still an afterthought. For a few, it’s a luxury. But it won’t thrive if it’s treated as a burdensome workstream passed to whoever has time. It needs ownership, and it needs to scale within your creative department. That’s the work I do now. Helping companies turn presentation design into a scalable, supported function that actually works.
