Samiah Adams

Hi, I'm Samiah — I’m a producer, project manager and startup operations wiz. My job is to bring ideas to life, keep things running smoothly and support creatives. I can help you produce and market a podcast, manage an existing project, clean up and run a messy workstream or anything in between.

I’ve produced podcasts hosted by celebrities (Adam Grant, Amy Schumer, Pharrell) and podcasts hosted by kids, run operations for a branded content studio, co-founded a business, worked with clients like Pfizer at agencies like Publicis Groupe and overhauled operations for a wide-variety of startups.

While I do love making pretty spreadsheets, people are my priority. I have extensive experience consulting founders during times of growth. I prioritize understanding how teams tick and build systems that work for them. My goal is to ease stress by owning and simplifying logistics so creatives can focus on making great content.

In my free time you can find me doing homework (I’m getting my Masters in Social Work), volunteering at my local food pantry, watching reality TV or driving my dog around Brooklyn.

You may not need a full time employee but rather someone who can come in, understand what’s happening, take ownership of a few important things and make your life easier. I offer flexible support that can start small and grow as your needs do.
