How I Can Help

A 90-day commercial marketing sprint built around what’s holding your growth back.

I'll turn your moving parts into clear priorities, meaningful progress, and a stronger foundation for sustainable growth.

FRONT-OF-HOUSE

What Your Buyers See

Sales & Buyer-Facing Support. Reviewing the materials and messages that support sales conversations to identify how marketing can better equip your sales process, strengthen the story, and make the business easier to sell.

Brand & Messaging Alignment. Reviewing how your business shows up across key touchpoints – what is clear, what is inconsistent, and what may be getting in the way of being understood and chosen.

BACK-OF-HOUSE

How You Deliver It

Marketing Activity & Priorities. Looking at your current marketing activity and creating a focused plan for what deserves attention first, what can wait, and what will best support growth.

Processes & Practical Execution. Identifying friction in marketing gets done—from content development and approvals to the everyday tools your team uses—then providing practical direction to make execution easier.

Hi! I'm Samantha Dickinson. From many years in Corporate America, to starting my own consultancy, I've worked with and for a broad scope of brands across the beverage industry.

  • 15 years working with 3-tier businesses

  • Full commercial experience: sales and marketing

This is where I come in. I help you build a marketing system that creates repeat business, not just attention.

About Me

Hi! I'm Samantha Dickinson. From many years in Corporate America, to starting my own consultancy, I've worked with and for a broad scope of brands across the beverage industry.

Having spent over 20 years in sales before transitioning to marketing, I know that a great product, a beautiful brand, and a romantic story do not automatically create market pull --especially in a market shaped by consolidation, regulation, and shifting consumer habits.

That’s where focused marketing comes in: turning attention into repeat business. I help you build the system to make that happen.

Marketing works when the plan is personalized to your business
& the moving parts work together.

I help you get clear on what matters most,
focus your marketing where it can support growth,
and build a plan you can actually use and adapt over time.

No prepackaged playbooks.

No disconnected tactics.

Just focused marketing built around your specific business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why bring in outside help instead of doing this ourselves?

You may be fully capable of doing this internally. The challenge is often having enough distance to see what’s being missed—opportunities, messaging gaps, and places where the pieces are not working together—when you’re living inside your own brand every day.

That range of experience lets me bring patterns, lessons, and proven approaches from across the industry—while applying them to the realities of your specific business, market, resources, and goals.

The goal isn’t to replace your expertise. It’s to help turn it into a focused, executable plan that supports the business you’re building.

What makes your approach different?

I don’t begin with a prepackaged playbook or a list of tactics. I look at the full marketing ecosystem: business goals, positioning and messaging, customer and channel realities, activity, investment, tools, and the capacity to execute.

Because I have worked across both sales and marketing, I build with the realities of the market in mind—not just how an idea looks in a deck. The work has to make sense for the people who represent, sell, recommend, buy, and come back to the brand. The result is marketing that is connected, commercially grounded, and built for the way your business actually operates.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?

Most agencies handle one piece — design, a channel, a campaign — without connecting it to what's actually driving revenue, and once the project wraps, they move on to the next client. I've worked both sides of this industry, sales and marketing, so the plan is built to move your business, and unlike a typical project, it's designed with a clear path to keep going after the 90 days, not a cliff.

Also, candidly, I support you like I care about your business as much as you do. Just ask any of my previous clients!

How much time will this take from us?

You do not need a large internal marketing team to work with me, and I design the work to make the best use of your time. I’ll likely need input from one or two key stakeholders, your assets and digital channels, as well as honest context about your goals, sales channels, current activity, available resources, and what you can realistically execute.

The time commitment varies by scope and where we need input, decisions, or access to materials. Whether you have a full team, a few key people, outside partners, or are carrying much of it yourself, the goal is to create focus and make execution easier—not add unnecessary meetings or work to your plate.

Can you help if we only need one thing?

Sometimes, yes. If you have a defined, high-priority need—such as positioning, messaging, a campaign, sales tools, or a marketing plan—I can scope focused support. And if, based on what I learn about your business, I believe a different priority or a broader approach would create more value, I’ll tell you. The goal is not to sell you more work; it’s to make sure the work supports where you are trying to go.

What happens after the 90 days?

You choose!

1) Bring me on for an ongoing retainer to stay in the boat with you and lead the work.

2) We set up a lighter editing / check-in tier so I can coach you intermittently from the side.

3) Your team runs solo.


Either way, you're not left with a plan and no actionable next steps.

How do we get started?

Start with a conversation about where the business is today, what you are trying to achieve, and what feels unclear or stuck. If there is a strong fit, we will move forward with a 90-Day Sprint, or define the priorities and scope of a different engagement.
