I believe businesses navigating marketing restrictions can achieve extraordinary success through clarity, thoughtful strategies, and ethical approaches.
Our Mission: What We Do &
How We Do It
At Ad Creations Marketing, my mission is to leverage my expertise in analytics, research, and education to help businesses thrive in complex marketing landscapes. I specialize in industries with significant advertising restrictions—including cannabis, alcohol, and boudoir photography—providing clear, actionable strategies tailored specifically to your unique business needs and regulatory requirements.
I combine the insights and analytical rigor typically associated with large consultancies with the personalized care, transparency, and ethics you expect from a trusted partner. Navigating marketing restrictions isn’t easy, and that’s exactly where I excel—by delivering clear, compliant, and actionable marketing strategies.
I focus specifically on regulated industries such as cannabis (THC & CBD), alcohol, and boudoir photography. My unique background in data analytics, compliance, and education enables me to transform complex marketing challenges into practical, understandable solutions. With my guidance, you’ll turn regulatory constraints into competitive advantages.
I specialize in making complex marketing landscapes accessible and manageable. My strengths as an analyst, researcher, and educator mean you receive clear, comprehensive insights—not just what to do but also why it works. My approach ensures you feel informed and empowered every step of the way.
I believe ethical, transparent marketing is not only possible but essential. My job isn’t to manage your campaigns—it’s to equip you with the strategies, tools, and knowledge you need to succeed independently.
Our Vision: Why We Do It
I envision a world where businesses navigating complex marketing restrictions are empowered to thrive, exceed their goals, and create lasting impact in their industries. At Ad Creations Marketing, I partner with innovative leaders in regulated sectors—such as cannabis, alcohol, and boudoir photography—to simplify their marketing challenges so they can focus on their passion, advancing their mission, and making a meaningful difference.
Transparency, integrity, and collaboration guide everything I do. In an industry where clarity and ethics aren’t always the norm, I’m committed to redefining what it means to be your marketing consultant.
At Ad Creations Marketing, you’ll always understand the story behind your marketing strategy. From detailed data-driven insights to clear, actionable steps, you’ll feel informed, empowered, and ready to achieve meaningful results.
Together, we’ll turn marketing challenges into growth opportunities—every single day.

Dr. Samantha Dean
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Samantha Dean, but please, call me Sam.
Ad Creations Marketing started as a freelance gig during tough financial times—just a simple way to earn extra money when things were tight. Over the years, it’s grown and evolved, taking many shapes as I discovered new opportunities and grew personally and professionally. Today, I’m excited to focus specifically on helping businesses that face complex advertising restrictions—like cannabis, alcohol, and boudoir photography—develop clear, compliant, and impactful marketing strategies.
With over a decade of experience in marketing and analytics and 15+ years in higher education, I love helping clients navigate challenging marketing landscapes. My goal is simple: to provide you with strategies that not only meet regulatory standards but also bring measurable growth and clarity to your marketing decisions.
What does that mean for you?
It means your marketing will be more than just compliant—it’ll be supported by cutting-edge research and a deep understanding of analytics. You’ll gain actionable insights tailored precisely to your unique business needs. Most importantly, you’ll feel confident and empowered as you navigate complex marketing challenges.
Outside my professional life, I’m a wife, dog mom, auntie, advocate, author, educator, and proud cancer and depression survivor. Deeply rooted in my hometown of St. Louis, MO—a city full of history and endless potential—I’m passionate about giving back and volunteer with local nonprofits like Girls on the Run, Duo Dogs, and Needy Paws Rescue.
Every business has a story; let’s tell yours together, overcoming barriers and unlocking exciting new opportunities.
