Hi, I’m Sam
I’m a Creative Director and Copywriter with over a decade of experience turning briefs into work people don’t immediately mute, skip, or block.
I’ve led campaigns across broadcast, social, experiential, and tech platforms and I’m happiest when I’m working with smart people who want to push things further.
Outside of work, I run almost every day and cook multiple times a day. My wife loves my cooking. My 3-year-old daughter does not. We live in Montclair, New Jersey, but I’m still emotionally commuting from Brooklyn.
Need words? Strategy? Someone to help you figure out what this thing should be? Reach me at prbauersm@gmail.com
