Sam was able to clean up my logo from the work I had another illustrator preform. She listened to the issues I had and brought all the details I was looking for, even did a little addition I asked for at the end.
I will be back for any other work I need done

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam+PR came on board and made a dramatic difference in my company. They completely revamped our website as well as staying on top of keeping it current and relevant.
Sam+PR has been proactive about getting necessary information from me to keep a steady rhythm with all of our social media and has given it a unified appearance and cadence.
Sam+PR also began a media program for us to show our unique process through both TikTok as well as YouTube, they then link them back to our other social media platforms.
Sam+PR has been proactive, on time, and affordable. We have had numerous existing clients give positive comments about "The New AWD", as well as many new clients directly from our new visibility online.
Sam+PR is also very involved in the community and works with getting their clients linked together as well as involved with their social programs.

Can't say enough positive things about this amazing organization.
