ABOUT

so nice to meet you. 

 

ssp was founded by Samantha Slaven-Bick, who worked as a consumer magazine editor and marketer/copywriter for brands including Gap Inc. and Procter & Gamble before launching her agency in a tiny sublet office space on Sunset Blvd. in 2003. Over the past 20+ years, she has grown and evolved with a changing industry to remain an indispensable and strategic partner to her clients. She shares close, long-standing relationships with top-drawer media, celebrity teams and influencers, who look to her as a well-rounded, reliable and pro-active resource for all things beauty, skincare, health & wellness and lifestyle.  

 

Serving on both in-house marketing teams and in editorial leadership positions has enabled Samantha to develop a deep understanding of and insight into both media and brands. She’s highly skilled at translating popular trends into buzzworthy pitches, writing on-point, engaging collateral, strategic planning, idea generation and securing top-tier press, influencer and celebrity partnerships for her clients. Her roster includes some of the top trend-setters in the aesthetics, beauty and health & wellness categories – from world-class experts to global corporations and start-up brands that trust her expertise and experience – and her network has been carefully honed over two decades.

 

With Samantha as the creative and strategic lead, our team works together on every account, so the passion, breadth and tenacity of the entire agency is dedicated to every client.
