About Samantha Smith

With a strong foundation in marketing, branding, and experiential event production, I’ve successfully led campaigns and projects from concept to execution. My career began with locally-owned, independent magazines, newspapers, and radio stations, where I developed a deep understanding of the media landscape. I later expanded my expertise by working with local events, nonprofits, city government, and marketing agencies, where I focused on building strategic partnerships, curating experiences, and driving community engagement.I’m actively seeking partners and collaborators who share a passion for innovation, local media, and community impact. Whether you’re a local business or nonprofit in arts, entertainment, media sales, tech, marketing, or investment, I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together.
