Welcome

I’m award-winning creative leader and AdWeek Creative 100 honoree, Samantha Bordignon. You can call me Sam.
So glad you’re here.

About Me

Raised in a creative family and formally educated in journalism, I was born a storyteller.

Over the years, I replaced reporting on my hot pink tape recorder with telling the stories of brands and causes I believe in.

Today, my work has been honored with almost every major ad award, including the Cannes Lions Grand Prix, and is installed in the permanent archive of the MoMa.

Born in Chicago, educated in Missouri and fresh off a 6 year stint in NYC, I’m back in the Chi and loving it. Crafting brand identities that resonate deeply and helping my clients tell their stories in breakthrough ways.

In my spare time you can find me devouring pop culture at an alarming rate, working on my latest ultra-niche hobby and hanging with my sheepdog Wally.

…isn’t he cute?

    Figuring It Out.

She’s A Hustla Baby

Locked down and looking for distraction in 2020, I teamed up with my childhood friend to release a first of its kind wireless microphone: The Hooke Lav

After raising nearly $600k in our launch on Kickstarter, Logitech purchased the entire project for their burgeoning creator portfolio.

Y’all come
