Hi, I’m Adam.

I spent 10 years in digital marketing at NIVEA and am now running marketing for Sampl - the market leader in digital product sampling.

Too many brands still run sampling campaigns like it’s 2005. Unmeasurable and disconnected from the rest of their marketing.

I joined Sampl to help fix that. I hired them when I was at NIVEA, and I've seen firsthand how sampling can become a reliable growth channel.

- Build a CRM of high-intent customers
- Improve PDPs with real reviews
- Collect feedback for NPD and trade sell-in
- Cut media waste by targeting actual buyers

We do this for some MAJOR global brands, and some of my favourite fast-growth brands too. Basically, anyone serious about customer acquisition.

I also host the Beyond the Brand podcast and advise/invest in early and scale-stage companies on how to grow with limited resources.

DM me about:

1) Marketing and growth strategy – campaign planning, funnel design and building traction with lean teams

2) Performance sampling – using reviews, opt-ins and conversion data to prove ROI

3) Speaking and panels – on modern marketing, brand growth and how consumer behaviour is changing

If you’re working on any of the above, feel free to get in touch.

NEW EPISODE with Tessa Tysome, the marketer who emailed the same person every week for six months until they gave her a job!

Tess's career makes most marketing CVs look very boring

She launched Smirnoff Ice in Cameroon. 
Scaled La Roche-Posay to become Boots' largest healthy skin brand. 
Built an Amazon business from scratch as a one-woman band. 
Ran €82 million of Olympics media spend for Nike.

Then last year, her team got made redundant. She got offered a job at Meta the same day, before now running her own consultancy.

I've recorded nearly 20 episodes of this podcast. Tessa's energy is pretty different!

Within 5 minutes, you will see what I mean

Tess has got so much breadth - Diageo, L'Oréal, PepsiCo, Nike, Meta - but she also talks in such a refreshing way. No humble bragging, and packed with honest reflections on a career building some of the world's biggest brands

Her philosophy: "Persistence beats resistance. I'm like a rottweiler with a bone."

This conversation covers:
▶ Why she quit PepsiCo to drive from Zimbabwe to Cape Town and become a yoga teacher
▶ The L'Oréal brand framework she still uses today
▶ Building a consultancy by doing great work first, letting it find you
▶ Why brands should solve FOR consumers, not sell TO them

If you've ever thought about taking a career risk or starting your own thing, this will inspire you. Or scare you. Probably both

Precision sampling and cashback campaigns for FMCG brands | Marketing Director @ Sampl | Podcast Host @ Beyond the Brand

At the start of the month, Rachel M. and I ran a webinar on how brands are using our new sampling partnership on THG Beauty.

We covered how targeted sampling works for different goals. 

Launching new products, building reviews before peak trading periods, and reaching new customers. 

The things that directly help when you need to increase sales (rather than just shipping out free products and hoping they do)

The OLEHENRIKSEN (LVMH) campaign is a great example. 96% of purchases came from people who'd never bought the brand before. 600+ reviews in two weeks. 200% lift in conversion. 

It's possible to track from the sample request through to the sale.

You can even see what creative drove the best results!

I'm taking the recording down on Friday. If you want to watch it or you'd like the slides, send me a message.

PS. Have an NPD launch in Q1? We can run a sampling campaign to get you new shoppers and capture reviews on LOOKFANTASTIC. Drop me a DM to get started
