About the leader behind the success of SOVA in his own words

Sam Sova, Partner and Chief Executive Officer

I grew up in Milwaukee and like most midwesterners (I’m finding), I moved away and now have “moved back home.” I’ve traveled all over the world, and have had the privilege to experience technology and cultural revolutions in marketing and creative in the heart of it, whether it is Silicon Valley or New York. My career path has been multi-industrial and corporate driven (Fiserv, AT&T, TIAA, Johnson Controls to name a few), as I’ve taken roles that are seeking to transform or think about how organizations can do marketing and creative better. In my 15+ years at industry leading organizations I consider myself an accomplished, creative, and solutions-oriented marketing expert and demonstrated success in delivering outstanding results across business development, marketing, branding, communications, public relations, social media, and digital transformation. I’ve always had the drive and curiosity to do things better and incorporate new technology to the system.

I’m an intuitive strategist with specialized expertise in orchestrating and implementing forward-looking, differentiated branding campaigns to drive consumer awareness, interest, and conversion. I’ve developed a track record of success in redefining and refreshing the branding voice and tone across all marketing assets to connect better with target audiences. And testing and learning new ways to do things better to implement across large organizations.

Through my experience in corporate roles, I’ve worked with more than fifty marketing and creative agencies and I think there is a better way to do it, and that’s what Cristian, Dave, Karl and I are building here at SOVA. A new type of company that has bleeding edge technology like AI at its core and only brings top talent to have the privilege to serve our clients.
