I’m Sam Rosenthal — a multi-talented writer, content creator and creative strategist with skills and experience in journalism, marketing, advertising and video production. I excel at telling compelling, impactful stories across a spectrum of formats, platforms and subject areas, and I consistently deliver engaging content that cuts through the noise to resonate with target audiences. I specialize in connecting with people — through my work, and in-person as part of a team or organization.
Born in Philadelphia and raised in South Jersey, I went to college in North Carolina (Chapel Hill) before moving to Madrid, Spain for two years. In 2013 I relocated to Manhattan, and in 2018 I moved to Los Angeles, where I’m currently working as the Director of Production at Nucleus, an innovative education technology startup.
Throughout my career, I have forged strong relationships and worked with leaders in fields as diverse as technology, healthcare, politics, the law, sports, social justice and international affairs. High-profile clientele that I’ve worked with includes:
Amazon | ESPN | Fox Sports | TIME | PayPal | GEICO | Johnson & Johnson | Clio | Allergan Pharmaceuticals | Hewlett-Packard Enterprise | Cisco | Oracle | Juniper Networks | Pabst Blue Ribbon | CAA
My work has been published by The Philadelphia Citizen, ABC News On Campus, Thrillist.com, The Jewish Daily Forward, Elite Daily, Image Curve, The Cauldron, Human Parts (on Medium) and others. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and Hebrew and Italian horribly. I am currently submitting my debut novel, Walking Backwards, to agents.
On this site you will find examples of my writing. As with any storyteller’s work, each of my stories contains pieces of me — my thoughts, emotions and poor attempts at humor. My goal is to focus on aspects of life that often go unnoticed in an effort to change the way people think, act and see the world. The beauty is always there — all we have to do is look for it.
Keep It Movin’,
Sam
