ABOUT SAM STARRATT

Portrait of Sam Starratt

HUMAN INSIGHT / AUDIENCE STRATEGY

I've trained teams, built an audience, and read a room for 7+ years. Those experiences are what led me toward strategy.

FRONTLINE NOTE

I learned which stories earned a table's attention, and which ones just delayed the check.

01ON THE FLOOR

7+ years in high-volume hospitality and Michelin-recommended fine dining, serving guests and training teams. I learned how a strong narrative changes behavior in real time.

02BUILT AN AUDIENCE

Ran an independent Etsy shop for five years: 30,000+ visits, $4,000+ in revenue, reach into 200+ cities. No team, no budget, just listings, pricing, and figuring out what actually got someone to buy.

03STRATEGY

One thread runs through all of it: what makes people pay attention, and what makes them act.
