Working across the North East’s creative, cultural and corporate sectors for over a decade, Sam has built a career shaping & delivering standout events, campaigns and projects that celebrate the UK’s world-class workforce. From festival fields to grassroots gigs, she is driven by a passion for championing emerging artists and supporting local economies – a mission fueled by her own background as a musician – most notably through her female-led events & artist agency Marisam Events. When she’s not side stage or scheduling social media content, you’ll likely find her deep in a true crime podcast/documentary, or trying to justify the purchase of yet another Diet Coke.
