Dr. Samantha Dean
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Samantha Dean, but please, call me Sam.
I created Ad Creations Marketing to offer ethical, impactful marketing solutions for brands ready to scale. With 10+ years of experience in marketing and 15+ years of experience in higher education, I’ve worked with diverse industries to craft strategies that deliver measurable growth. By blending creativity with proven data-driven methods, I help businesses turn their vision into reality. My doctorate in data science and background in academia add an extra layer of expertise to every campaign.
What does that mean for you?
It means your marketing isn’t just creative—it’s backed by a decade of hands-on experience and cutting-edge research. It means your metrics are transformed into actionable insights that make sense for your business. And most importantly, it means results that drive your success.
I believe in empowering others to thrive and make a positive impact. By helping them achieve their mission, I’m living out mine—and I get the privilege of celebrating their wins right alongside them.
Outside of running Ad Creations Marketing, I’m a wife, dog mom, auntie, author, educator, and a proud cancer and depression survivor. I’m deeply rooted in my hometown of St. Louis, MO—a city that’s rich in history and brimming with potential. I’m passionate about giving back and volunteer with amazing local nonprofits like Girls on the Run, Duo Dogs, and Needy Paws Rescue to support their transformative work in our community.
For me, every endeavor is about creating positive change. At Ad Creations Marketing, I get to do just that every single day with my incredible team and clients.
If you’re looking for a marketing partner who combines a decade of expertise with a passion for ethical, impactful strategies, I’d love to welcome you to our family.
Here’s to building something extraordinary together!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and Ad Creations Marketing. I can’t wait to hear your story!
Warmly,
Sam
