Maxime Lê

Working with Sam has been a fantastic experience. Her expertise in digital marketing, especially in strategy and implementation, is impressive. During our six-month advertising campaign, I learned a lot from her about managing a campaign from start to finish. Her skill in navigating the bidding and implementation process made everything run smoothly. Any organization would be lucky to have Sam—hire her to optimize your next campaign!
