WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
Other agencies tend to have one plan, the NEO team are always bringing new ideas. Samantha and the team go far beyond what other agencies I’ve used do, giving a whole service rather than just PPC or social to a time slot.

MEET SAMANTHA

I know what it takes
to build your own thing.

A business. A family. An ambition that doesn’t fit neatly into nine to five.

Samantha built NEO into a six-figure agency in 18 months while raising a newborn. That experience shapes a partnership built around both your commercial goals and the person behind them.

With 13 years of experience in online growth, she brings strategic expertise and a founder’s perspective to your next chapter.
