Sam Mallikarjunan

“Having had the pleasure to work with Sam over the past three years as a development partner on the Onescreen.ai project, I can confidently say that he is an exceptional leader and a real wizard in the AI field. His unique blend of strategic vision and technical expertise makes him an effective CEO, allowing him to guide his team to achieve impressive results. Sam's abilities to navigate complex challenges with agility and to turn visionary ideas into actionable plans are truly remarkable. I am continually impressed by his breadth of knowledge and his dedication to his work. I highly recommend Sam for his outstanding leadership and his deep understanding of AI. His contributions to our partnership have been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing our productive collaboration.”

“Sam is a thoughtful, caring, and intelligent leader. He is not only an expert his field, he is phenomenal at building teams and driving performance. I worked with Sam at BirdEye in his role as Head of Marketing. He was a true leader to both the sales and marketing organizations, always bringing in new and innovative ways to engage with our customers and prospects. His focus on performance led to huge increases in pipeline and ultimately revenue. Sam is a high caliber leader, and was a privledge to work with. ”

“Sam is simply awesome. His mentoring and advices was extremely valuable and went a very long way for us. And because of his guidance and expertise, we were able to get enough high growth in my first startup, which led to a successful Series A, followed by a quick acquisition. ”

“Working with Sam is a very collaborative experience. His intimate knowledge of inbound marketing and the HubSpot platform help clients like me truly understand best practices with lead generation and brand awareness. Plus, his sense of humor and personality make him a pleasure to work with. My only regret is not being able to work with him for a longer time period as he was promoted and no longer our marketing consultant.”

“I first met Sam when he was presenting at a marketing conference and right away I could tell he was on a totally different level of understanding of marketing. Since then I've had the pleasure of working with him and each time we work together he always amazes me with his depth of knowledge on marketing, ecommerce, data and human behavior. He's extremely creative in his approaches, yet links them back to proven data that shows results. It's also apparent that he truly values relationships and makes a huge effort to be socially connected which is apparent if you look at any of his social network accounts. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Sam, please take advantage of it.”

“Sam was the easiest interview I have ever had in my career of interviewing candidates. Within 10 minutes of meeting him, I knew Sam would be an exceptional hire for any marketing-related position. After those first 10 minutes, we spent the remainder of the interview talking about personal interests (Sam's are varied and non-cookie-cutter), then relocation options for the calculated risk of moving from Florida to New England to work for HubSpot. At HubSpot, Sam proved the consummate marketing professional. He excelled at working with and advising customers from the very elementary (e.g. SMB owners of services businesses) to the very sophisticated (e.g. eCommerce CMOs). Sam's likeable personality projects itself well over the phone or in person and his world-class knowledge of marketing tactics and strategy, both old and cutting-edge, add the ROI steak to the personable sizzle. After being promoted to the marketing team at HubSpot, Sam continued to blaze a trail for the innovative and effective strategies that were his hallmark when working with customers. Sam worked smoothly with sales managers, implemented new strategies in email & social media marketing, and generally moved his colleagues toward more progressive marketing execution. Thinking of working with Sam? Schedule an hour with him, talk shop for 10 minutes, realize of course you'll be working together, then spend the next 50 getting to know each other. You'll enjoy working together and both be more successful for it.”

“Sam was only on the marketing team a short time - a few months - but during that time he showed me he was a sharp marketer who had lots of clever ideas and hacks to implement to get results. He is also a hard worker and got along well with others on the team. We wish him well after graduation and in his life as a HubSpot Alum.”

“Sam is one of the most passionate and dedicated employees I've worked with. His inbound marketing prowess and creativity have helped many, many companies grow their business online. He'll change your business for the better.”

“I'll put Sam in front of my customer ANY DAY. Cool, calm, and collected, Sam is consultative and super knowledgeable, giving him the ability to relate to customers quickly and understand their current state/business needs. He provides relevant information and his timing and delivery are just right. Sam and I recently worked together to on-board a very forward-thinking, exciting and savvy account and I couldn't have done it with out this help and insight.”

“Sam is by far the most strategic and intelligent eCommerce marketer I've ever worked with. Him and I lead the HubSpot eCommerce team together, where he was responsible for lead generation for my sales team. We collaborated to increase lead quality as well as retain-ability and LTV of current customers. Sam is extremely well spoken and professional. He is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to get things done. Sam would be an extremely valuable asset to any team looking to take their marketing to the next level.”

“What can I say about Sam that he hasn't already been tweeted, blogged about, or posted on Facebook? Turns out quite a bit! I had the pleasure of working alongside Sam on the Enterprise Team at HubSpot where I saw first-hand how he masterfully played the role of Marketer, Consultant, Communicator, Salesperson, Analyzer, and Motivator (sometimes on just 1 call!). Sam genuinely brings an immense amount of enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion to every interaction he has each day. Spend one hour with him and you'll soon realize he lives, sleeps, and breaths Marketing, and resist as you may, before long you will be a life-long member of the Sam Mallikarjunan Marketing Fan Club.”

“Sam is an expert Inbound Marketer. It is great to work with him and learn from him everyday.”

“Although Sam and I didn't work in the same department at HubSpot, we worked in the same office, with some of the same customers, and also spent time outside of work, so I have a fairly comprehensive view of Sam. Every single one of Sam's customers I spoke with had nothing but good things to say about Sam. They all noted his friendly, patient, professional approach, and his desire to educate them so that they can become great marketers. The same attitude prevailed every time I worked with Sam directly, in person. He is always smiling, polite, friendly, professional, patient, and creative, even in times of stress (e.g. project deadlines, complaining customers, software bugs, etc.) This makes Sam a great person to have on your team, especially when others may be losing their cool. Outside of work, Sam is just as helpful and fun. To cite one example, he helped organize social elements of our HubSpot ski trip, even though he obviously could have just enjoyed his skiing without caring about the rest of the group. I, and others,noted and appreciated his team spirit.”

“Sam was hugely helpful in establishing and executing an inbound marketing strategy for our company. His skills and expertise in social media, content marketing, and online lead generation/conversion was invaluable. Plus, he's a cool guy!”

“Sam was my second consultant at HubSpot and he was not only a pleasure to work with, but always had valuable knowledge to share. Sam worked hard to not only share his own knowledge, but to get HubSpot clients to share with each other. Sam is a total pro and someone that you want to have on your team.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sam over the last year at HubSpot. While Sam has an unmatched understanding of all the marketing fundamentals and a proven track record of applying the knowledge, what amazes me most is his talent. Sam has the unique talent to connect the dots, see what could be, and develop what others later look at and wonder “why didn’t I see that” What is ordinary to him, is amazing to everyone else. Sam’s mind is always going and always thinking marketing. Once he called me with a great idea to test. He had been looking over his girl friend's shoulder on vacation as she surfed an online clothing site. Amazed by how they guided her based on her preferences, he hypothesized the same process could be used to help educate our online shoppers of medical products to decrease confusion and make better buying decisions. We tested it and proved his theory correct.! Always testing, Sam is a dreamer who can execute. With an analytical mind, he doesn’t just assume, he tests. Unlike many, he doesn’t just look for data to support his hunch. When he proves himself wrong he is quick to share what he has learned. When he is proven right, he is quick to execute to leverage the new found knowledge. Sam is motivational. Even chatting with him online energizes any marketer’s creative mind. Maybe that the underlying reason for all the Twitter followers and those that read and share his blogs.”

“I, as marketing director for Carlson Software, worked with Sam via HubSpot; he served as my advisor when I first started using the product/service. He was able to patiently bring me along in my understanding of the many offerings of HubSpot, plus his overall marketing expertise was extremely helpful. His enthusiasm for HubSpot and marketing was contagious and helped to inspire me to try many of the different things that HubSpot offers. I enjoyed working with him and knew I'd learn something new every time I talked with him.”

“"I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Sam over the last year on multiple marketing initiatives for various companies with exemplary results. Sam possesses a tremendous skill set that every marketer and business owner would kill for. Along with this skill set, Sam also has an innate ability to not only teach, but to educate and communicate his robust and technical knowledge for the most advanced marketer as well as average business owner. The vision that Sam sees and is able to seamlessly implement for a client is on par with that of the late Steve Jobs. It is not very often that an individual contains the ability to disrupt and revolutionize multiple industries within a lifetime, yet Sam has been successful in accomplishing this in multiple industries as a millennial. It is not very often that I give recommendations, but in this case I give Sam my highest regards as he resides in a stratosphere that has yet to be discovered in the marketing world." .”

“Sam is a stellar inbound marketer who moved into the frigid northeast from Florida to pursue his marketing career and advance himself. That alone speaks more to his dedication and passion to his work than most other stories could - He is relentlessly focused on his goals and analyzing how to help scale and grow businesses of all types. He has a very sharp mind and is able to develop strong relationships with others easily, and is a great team player and leader. I also witnessed Sam helping take the eCommerce Marketing & Onboarding team at HubSpot from its infancy into real maturity as it grew, and then move aside after it was stable to take on even tougher challenges. I'd be happy to work with Sam again in the future on any marketing project or experiment.”

“Sam is a powerhouse of productivity and creativity. He works hard for his customers and comes up with solutions that match the unique problems they are facing.”

“During my time at HubSpot, I had the chance to work with Sam on several accounts both during the sales process and post sale. Sam is an inbound marketing expert providing top notch consulting service to each of his clients. In addition to his expertise on this subject matter, Sam is fully capable of joining any sales call and moving the sales process further and faster by accompanying a sales professional in identifying value specific to each individual prospect.”

“As a marketing consultant who used inbound marketing to land at HubSpot (the premier experts of inbound marketing), Sam Mallikarjunan believes in what he teaches. He's an expert on getting found online, driving leads and using social media as a marketing tool. Sam has helped us at AmeriFirst Home Mortgage more than double website views while continuously converting views into leads at a remarkable pace. Meeting regularly with Sam helps churn out creative new ideas to reach our prospective audience and build a following of rabid fans. These leads turn into sales for our company, and we owe much of the success to Sam and HubSpot.”

“There are people that you meet that you instantly know you were meant to do great things and change lifes with. Sam is one of those people. I would not be a business owner today without him and I won't be in business without him. His goal driven personality and unsurpassed knowlage in Marketing is enmatched in this world... I would put my entire reputaion on it!”

“Sam has many amazing ideas and the energy to back them up.”

“Sam and I worked together on a project to help the world with developing a broader mental perspective. Our time working together was enjoyable, thought provoking, and rewarding. Sam is one of the deepest intellectual thinkers I have encountered in my time meandering around scanning the world for intelligent life. He taught me a lot about considering the opposing perspective and keeping level headed in the midst of complex and highly emotionally charged conversations. Although our endeavor did not pan out as expected, we certainly laid foundations for working together in the future. In Sam I have found a person with a shared world vision; someone who understands that we were put here to be humans and act accordingly. We share a vision that we all have a social responsibility to better the world and that only in doing so will we ever really see positive change emerge. It was certainly a privilege working together and I look forward to when we can carry out our shared goals.”

“I have known Sam for a very long time, and his drive for excellence that adds value to the customer seems to grow with time. His work and personal ethics are bar none. He has a tendency to always put the customer first, and service seems to be his watch word. He has never let me down and his work has often made me look good to my higher chain of command. His is very entrepreneurial and seeks win-win solutions. His ability to solve seemingly complex and intricate problems has never ceased to amaze me. I would not hesitate to hire Sam and while I do not give recommendations as a rule, Sam is an exception.”
