Testimonials

Anna Micklin

Senior program Manager UF Foster School - Content Strategy - Equity and Inclusion

Samar and I study together in University of Washington's Content Strategy Certificate program. I appreciate her insights and questions that fuel the class discussion and help everyone gain a deeper understanding of content strategy. Samar is collaborative and brings a lot of knowledge and case studies from the work her company does.

Sherine Ataya

Marketing Manager at Knauf Ltd. and Partners

I worked with Samar during the past four years. Honestly, she treats the brand as her own baby giving all her dedication and time to get new ideas and innovations. From the day Samar started working with us, we could feel a huge development in the brand; her hard work and high attention into details make us feel she is part of the team.

Communication Strategist / Content Storytelling / Team Leadership

Samar proved to be our most engaged and thoughtful students in the UW Storytelling and Content Creation course. Samar's insights and contributions to the class discussions, along with her written work always elevated the value of the class for all students. In a class largely full of Americans, Samar lent an expanded perspective to the course which really broadened the experience for everyone. While applauding Samar's spirit and leadership is incredible, I do want to highlight that Samar's insights were incredibly instructive, detailing the work that she does and the deep level of trust that she and her clients share from everything to the content work she executes to the personal investment Samar and her firm dedicates to each relationship. Throughout the quarter, I learned much from her experiences, as did everyone in the class. Not to be discounted, Samar, also, was a class star while needed to wake up at three in the morning to dedicate herself to the course and the class discussions. I can't imagine anything that Samar cannot do and believe she is a great asset to any organization.

Sara Benjamin

Deputy CEO at ADMC

Samar is an honest down to earth professional, worked with her on different projects and she always delivered high quality with a lot of extra miles for the project sake. A very fair and straightforward entrepreneur. Samar value added in person and through her company has always left an obvious and unforgettable finger print. She is professional and highly talented in translating ideas and unspoken words into a well communicated and clear visual material, which can be a real challenge for others, but for her she does so in a very smooth, pleasured and professional way.

Her skills in leadership makes her to see solutions instead of problems.

Efficient with an eye to detail is what comes to my mind when I think of Samar. I had the opportunity to work with Samar at E-motion where she guided me through several projects and paved the way to putting in place a social media arm for the company. Samar’s ability to grasp information and juggle different projects at the same time was incredible. She also had an ability to put the team at ease despite the high pressure environment. Samar would be an asset to any firm and a great mentor and manager.
